Description

"Take Just 2 Days Off This Easter and Make the Most of It! Instructor-Led Dive Trip — Explore Malapascua Island with Peace of Mind!"

Malapascua Island is located at the northern tip of Cebu in the Philippines and is one of the few places in the world where thresher sharks can be seen at a fixed spot all year round🦈. With conservation efforts growing stronger in recent years, the chances of encountering thresher sharks have also greatly increased.

Want to catch a glimpse of thresher sharks, which normally live in the deep sea? The best time is early in the morning! Every day before sunrise, the thresher sharks at Monad Shoal rise from the deep to a cleaning station at around 25–30 metres, where cleaner fish remove parasites from their bodies. As long as you set off on time in the early morning, there is a very good chance of meeting them (this is a natural ecosystem, so sightings cannot be guaranteed).

Besides thresher sharks, dive sites such as Gato Island with its whitetip reef sharks and sea snakes, and the Doña Marilyn wreck are just as amazing, and the waters of Malapascua are incredibly clear🌊.

Professional Hong Kong instructors handpicked by Young's Holidays will accompany the group, providing guidance and support throughout the trip as you explore the underwater world of this small island with peace of mind🤿. OW divers will dive at a suitable depth as arranged by the instructor
