We do not have an in-house dive shop: one of the main reasons is to provide peace of mind to non-diving customers. Another reason is to offer diving customers more choice. In fact we collaborate with the best dive shops in Malapascua (PADI, SSI, …) and our customers do not have to walk to the dive shop because they are picked up by boat at the resort.
The customer’s equipment is delivered to the dive shop at the beginning of the holiday (or when decided by the customer) and returned to the resort on the last day of the stay or at the end of the dives.
All dive shops have several boats and organize many different dives every day. All dives are by boat and many sites are just a few minutes of navigation from the beach, a single dive lasts on average a couple of hours.
Every day around 5:00 AM in the morning we leave for Kimud Shoal and Monad Shoal to meet thresher sharks and tiger sharks.
For the more distant dive sites, full-day trips are organized, departing around 9:00 AM and returning around 4:00 PM.
At sunset, dives are usually organized to witness the mating rituals of the mandarin fish. The dive then continues in search of the amazing marine creatures that populate the sea of the island only after sunset.
There are plenty of macro opportunities which includes countless different critters.
There is no other dive site on the planet that offers this type of diversity for a one of a kind experience!
