ABOUT MALAPASCUA

 

 

World class diving, secluded beaches, a car-free environment and a very unique island vibe make of Malapascua the perfect description of paradise and an unforgettable destination for divers, adventurers and travellers alike.

 

 

Malapascua Island has been making rounds in the internet for its beautiful beaches and the grandeur of its reefs. This island is home to one of the most endangered species of sharks, the Thresher Sharks. Dubbed to be “loneliest” shark, (blame it on the appearance of their jaw lines and lips, it looks like they are frowning all the time!) this amazing creature can be found lurking within the depths of Monad Shoal.

 

 

 

Diving is what brings in most of the tourists. The diving here is truly world class.

 

Divers from all over the world arrive daily to Malapascua island, since this is the only place in the globe where the Thresher Sharks can be spotted almost on a daily basis. It does include some early wake up since in order to see these majestic animals you’ll have to be in the water by sunrise!

Apart from Thresher shark sightings, there are also sighting of other magnificent sea creatures such as manta rays, hammerhead sharks, devil rays and eagle rays.

This diving paradise is also very well known for incredible macro at all its dive sites. You can see many types of shrimps and crabs, including harlequin shrimp, ghost shrimp and xeno crabs. Pipefish are all around including several types of ghost pipefish.
