Set on a picturesque beach along the Verde Island Passage, this down-to-earth, affordable resort is only 20 minutes from Puerto Galera’s hottest party hub, Sabang, as well as a number of beautiful beaches and nature spots.
Built by divers, for divers, this scuba-obsessed resort boasts famous Filipino hospitality and laid-back island vibes.

Explore the resort
With well-appointed accommodation, superb facilities and heartfelt Filipino hospitality, every guest can enjoy a relaxing stay at BadLadz. A pool perfect for scuba diving training is located only a short distance from the beach, and children can play in the shallow kids’ pool while the adults lounge in sun chairs and hammocks. Hungry guests will appreciate the on-site restaurant that specialises in Mexican cuisine, while the coffee shop and sociable bar offer relaxing settings to while away the hours.
The resort isn’t solely about diving - there’s a variety of exciting activities, water sports and excursions available. Discover sailing, island hopping and snorkeling trips, or try kayaking, jet skiing, banana boats and windsurfing. Experience local culture by taking a tour of the nearby town, or explore the region’s beautiful natural environment with guided ecotours. For something adventurous, head to the local shooting range, or try out mud carts. For a peaceful day, visit Small La Laguna or Talipanan beaches, or take a tour of Mangyan Village, where the indigenous people of Mindoro live a simple, traditional way of life. At the end of a day, revitalise yourself in the on-site Pampered Spa, which offers a sensuous selection of treatments and massages.

The dive centre has been built with divers in mind, from the equipment room to the training pool. With full diving equipment and nitrox on offer, guests can easily enjoy Puerto Galera’s stunning reefs. Affordable PADI dive courses from beginner up to divemaster are available, and groups are kept small for maximum enjoyment. Divers of all skill levels can explore any of the 40 dive sites in the area with up to four dives per day, and because of the resort’s excellent location, dive sites are rarely more than a 20 minute boat ride away. The first two-tank trip departs in the morning and returns for lunch. Another two tank trip departs in the afternoon and returns to the resort in time for drinks and dinner. The resort also offers night diving and excursions to the world-renowned Verde Islands.
Boasting some of the best diving spots in the Philippines, Puerto Galera is suitable for divers of all skill and experience levels. Discover teeming tropical reefs, surreal underwater caves and eerie shipwrecks. Various kinds of diving are possible, including adrenaline-pumping drifts, mind-blowing deep diving, relaxing reefs and epic walls.
