🐋 A journey into marine majesty, island culture, and hands-on reef protection — Malapascua the way it should be experienced.
Discover Malapascua Like Never Before
This isn’t your average thresher shark trip. It’s a dive into the very soul of Malapascua — where reef meets community, and purpose meets adventure.
You’ll dive with the iconic threshers at sunrise, explore Kalanggaman and Gato islands, and even spot mandarin fish dancing at dusk. But beyond the marine spectacle lies something more: a chance to connect with locals, understand conservation from the ground up, and give back through a Crown of Thorns cleanup snorkel.
Expect early wake-ups, salty hair, garlic rice, and stories shared between dives.
