Would you like to catch a glimpse of the thresher sharks that usually live at depths of 200-300 meters underwater?
The perfect time to see them is when they swim up to a depth of 20 meters in the early morning! Before dawn, around 4-5 AM, the thresher sharks ascend from the depths to the shallower waters of the "Monad Shoal's" Cleaning Station, where cleaner fish remove parasites from their bodies. By going to a specific spot, you can meet them! The chances of sighting them are almost 100%!
The waters of Malapascua are incredibly clear, allowing for complete visibility of the ocean floor.
Young's Holidays has carefully selected professional instructors to lead the group and take you to explore the underwater world of the secluded island.
