"The Asia Explorer"
For many years Asia Divers had passed on the opportunity to buy and operate outboard-powered dive boats. Being in the Philippines, we believed people were happy diving from traditional outrigger bangka boats, and many of our divers still do. However, with the selective and highly-experienced divers we are receiving today, we realized the need to provide a faster, more elegant, dive boat for our guests.
Thus we are now very proud to announce our new 33 foot dive boat, powered by twin-115 hp Mercury outboard engines. Modeled after a well-known live-aboard's custom dive skiff, our new boat comfortably seats sixteen fully-equipped divers. Even fully loaded (including two tanks per diver), she will cruise at 25 mph. This gives us great flexibility for groups and a way to take our valued clients to dive sites not normally available to other operators.

The boat plans and construction were approved, monitored and certified by Philippine Marina. To further ensure that our guests' safety and comfort is never compromised, "Asia Explorer" is nationally registered and served by a highly-experienced dive crew, and a licensed captain.
Asia Divers and El Galleon Resort look forward to having you aboard the latest addition to their fleet. Here's wishing you safe and exciting diving.
