Greetings!
Have you ever seen a Thresher Shark? No? Then here is your chance!
This is the super peak time of the year to see these magnificent sharks.
This trip is over the May Day long weekend. 27th April to 1st May. You need to take Friday the 27th and Monday the 30th off as leave. Tuesday 1st May is a Public Holiday.
In the Philippines, Malapascua has a great variety of dive sites. There is big stuff and small stuff, reefs and wrecks, amazing coral dives and sandy muck dives, wall dives and more. Because the diving is in different areas and with many different influences, there is a great variety of marine life. All the dive sites have excellent macro, so there is always plenty to see. Some divers have rated Malapascua's dive spots as some of the world's best diving!
Gato Island is one of the most famous dive sites. A famous saying is that "You come to Malapascua to see the thresher sharks, but you leave remembering Gato". Gato is a marine reserve and sea snake sanctuary. It has at least five dive sites with a huge diversity of marine life.
At all sites you can see such things as banded sea snakes, cuttlefish (often while mating), seahorses, nudibranchs, frogfish, scorpion fish, porcupine fish, and smashing mantis shrimp. Away from the reef you can see schools of squid and big-mouthed mackerel attracted by the baitballs. There are many whitetip sharks in residence at Gato, as well as bamboo and cat sharks. The coral is in good condition and the rocky island has many interesting underwater rock formations, overhangs, and swim-through's.
