The people who make it happen
A small, local crew who know Sogod Bay better than anyone, and who keep guests coming back year after year.
Faces around the resort
From the dive deck to the kitchen, you will get to know everyone during your stay.
Phil McGuire
Owner & PADI Instructor
Born in Sydney and at home across the Pacific and Southeast Asia, Phil loves the tropics, diving, and rugby. Ask to see his collection of local marine-life photos, and forgive him the silly dive hat.
Pedro Batestil
