Scuba diving in Malapascua is something unique, as this beautiful island is within the ocean zone with the highest concentration of biodiversity in the world.
Malapascua is famous for the thresher sharks: this is the only place in the world where you can see thresher sharks almost every day scuba diving at a depth lower than 20 meters.
The diving spots are actually many and offer equally beautiful and unique sights: the mandarin fishes that perform their dance of mating every sunset at the Lighthouse; Gato island, marine reserve and sanctuary for the colubrine sea krait (Laticauda colubrina sea snake), famous for the pygmy seahorses, the white tip sharks, the nudibranches and the giant cuttlefishes; Lapus Lapus, where you can see frog fishes but you must look for them among the colorful corals; Ka Osting, an easy and fun “muck dive” in search of the blue-ringed octopus; the island of Calanggaman, a tropical paradise uninhabited on the surface but with walls rich in underwater life. And Monad shoal, the new diving spot for tiger sharks.
These are just some examples: every day in Malapascua new interesting diving spots are discovered and with more and different species, a real paradise for scuba divers.
