Why TSD?
🦈 Why Dive with Thresher Shark Divers?
🏝️ Founded in 2004, TSD is still proudly run by its British founder, Andrea. Our amazing 🇵🇭 Filipino team has been with us for an average of 12 years — a true family, not just a dive crew. They’re joined by a 🌍 multilingual international team, all passionate about sharing the magic of Malapascua.
🏆 As one of the Philippines’ top PADI 5-Star CDC Centers and a multiple award-winning dive shop, we’re proud to consistently receive PADI’s Outstanding Contribution to the Dive Industry award and other awards every year.
🌟 We’ve also won TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice award every single year, with countless guests returning to dive with us again and again.
👨🏫 Our instructors are the most experienced on the island, and our in-status local PADI Divemasters have thousands of dives under their belts. Their laser vision 🔍 means you won’t miss a single nudibranch, seahorse, or hidden critters.
💼 Courses are often taught 1-on-1, and we usually add an assistant to keep things extra safe and smooth. Our instructor team is the most experienced on the island, so you’ll get the best possible start to what we hope will be a lifelong love of diving. 🐠
🧰 We use new, high-end gear like Apeks regulators and Aqualung BCDs, all kept in top shape by our on-site technician. 🧪 Air quality is regularly checked, and our compressors are meticulously maintained.
🛟 Safety is everything: In 20 years and tens of thousands of dives, we’ve never had a serious accident — and that is no accident. But as added security, we carry full liability insurance, which is very rare in Southeast Asia!
So you can be assured that with us, you will have only the best: top-quality service, unrivalled professionalism and a safe and, most of all, fun diving vacation from start to finish!
🍹 After diving, join us at the beachfront bar for Après-Dive Happy Hour — it’s where stories are shared, photos swapped, and friendships made.
💙 But most of all, it’s our people who make the difference. From your first message to your final dive, you’ll feel the care, passion, and joy our staff bring to everything they do.
So you can be assured that with TSD, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned diver, you’re in for top-quality service, unrivalled professionalism and safety, and an unforgettable adventure with TSD from start to finish.
You’ll arrive as a guest, and leave as a friend. ❤️🤿🦈✨
