Thanks to you Mai for inviting me to dive with you in Malapascua. We saw tresher shark, white tip shark, cuttle fish, octopus, sea horse, jacks and a lot more. Dive Sites:
MONAD SHOAL Home of the famous Thresher Sharks. Every morning the sharks go up to the shoal's cleaning station at a depth of 22m/72ft. There, they get their daily ritual of beautification courtesy of the Cleaner Wrasses. The shoal is 20min away, east of Malapascua.
GATO ISLAND: An hour away heading NE, this piece of rock juts out from the sea. A fish and sea-snake sanctuary, it is also the lair of numerous White-tip sharks. You can peek underneath rock outcroppings to see "big, fat, lazy sharks" having their rest after a night of feeding. Nudibranchs, sea horses and lush, colorful soft-corals are spread all over the area. One highlight of the site is going into a short swim into the Shark tunnel where you can see silhouettes of the white-tips swimming around the exit of the tunnel.
