Malapascua diving

Of all the places to dive in the Philippines, Malapascua is one of the most popular! It is legendary among divers as the best place in the world to see a Thresher Shark (those sharks with the really long tails!).

In this epic guide of awesomeness, I'll talk about my experience diving Malapascua over 2023 including how I came to make a rap song about thresher sharks whilst being there.

Did you know that since 2020, thresher sharks are no longer found at the famous Malapascuan dive site "Monad Shoal"? That's because they've migrated to a different one: "Kinad Shoal".

Why?! It's actually because those Thresher Sharks were scared into changing locations by a fairly new arrival to Malapascua: Tiger Sharks, which you can also now dive with!

In this guide, I'll tell you everything you need to know about diving Malapascua including the best Malapascua dive resorts and dive sites; when to go, how to get there and more.
