Diving Malapascua
Divers come to Malapascua for the opportunity to watch the deep water Thresher Sharks at the cleaning station, Monad Shoal. This sunken island about 20-26m deep is the only one in the world where divers can routinely see the Pelagic thresher sharks as well as the common thresher shark. Being sensitive to light, the threshers get themselves cleaned in the early hours of the morning so divers that want to get a glimpse of the rare sharks need to get up at 5am or earlier. In the afternoon, lucky divers can also get the chance to see mantas at the cleaning station as well. For best dives we recommend divers to come from July to November during the rainy season.
