Dive with Malapascua's Famous Thresher Sharks!
Malapascua is the only place in the world where thresher sharks can be seen every day. Sightings have been amazing - the best in our 20 years here! We're also sometimes seeing tiger sharks at nearby Monad Shoal! 🐯🦈
Why Instructor-Led for Open Water Divers?
Both Monad and Kimud are challenging sites. We do not require that you be Advanced Open Water (AOW), but we do require Open Water divers to go with an instructor for:
- Your safety and that of others
- Protection of the fragile coral environment
- Respectful treatment of the sharks
- Enhanced enjoyment of your experience 😊
Dive Sites
Kimud Shoal: A sunken island at 12 meters, but as it is in the middle of the open sea, it can often have currents and slightly challenging conditions. There are optional drop-offs, so it's also perfect for the 30m Deep Adventure Dive.
Monad Shoal: Straight drop to 16 meters, then swimming between 16-30 meters (beyond OW limits).
Dive Options
- Standard Instructor-Led Dives: Just for fun or with PADI Shark Conservation Dive credit towards AOW.
- PADI Deep Adventure Dive: Certifies you to 30 meters, counts toward AOW (requires AOW manual purchase, included in price)
- Full PADI Advanced Open Water Course: Complete over 2 days, or PADI Adventure Diver (3 dives) in one day
What's Included
- 2 dives (usually to Kimud, sometimes 3-dive trips available for extra cost)
- Free equipment rental, including dive computer
- Boat fees including Kimud fuel surcharge
- Instructor guidance for shark safety and enjoyment
- Park fees (good for the day)
- With Deep Adventure Dive: PADI AOW Manual + PIC Certification fee (RRP PHP 9,000/USD 160)
Important notes
- This is an early morning departure, so try to arrive on Malapascua the day before. We finalise the exact schedule a day in advance. If you are arriving on the first boat from Maya Port, we can usually arrange a later departure, but this needs to be pre-booked. Please arrive by 5pm or contact us for other arrangements.
- A refresher dive may be required if you haven't dived recently
- We offer a unique "Kimud Double Dive Guarantee" at no extra charge for guests with only one night on the island.
As a PADI Career Development Center, we offer the AOW manual at a fraction of the cost you'd pay elsewhere!
