Diving around Malapascua<\/h2>\n

Most of the divers come to Malapascua because of the thresher sharks which can be seen in Monad shoal all year around. Also giant manta rays and mobulas are often seen on this sunken island. Most of the divers coming are surprised at the great diversity on the dive sites around the Malapascua. The dive sites offer a great range of macro, wreck, cave and wall diving.<\/p>\n
