'The highlight is no doubt a Thresher Shark encounter'
Set foot on Malapascua and the island vibe is quick to take over. Fringed by white sand and without the busy trappings of western life this makes for the ideal location to enjoy some superb local diving, the highlight being encounters with the mystical Thresher Shark. There are few places on earth where it’s possible to get close to this elusive being yet on Malapascua this is almost a daily occurrence. Other possibilities include manta, white and black tips and devil rays – it just seems the conditions are right here.
Aside from big fish encounters the surrounding reefs are rich in diversity, coral life is good and for the photographers or macro life enthusiast plenty of weird and wonderful creatures to keep your interest.

The resort itself is charmingly constructed to fit with its surroundings. There are just 29 rooms and the restaurant serves up a range of local and international treats throughout the day. In the unlikely event that the island’s laid back living is not enough there’s a spa and massage to pull out those knots and aches you collected from the west!

We made a recent trip to the Philippines and Malapascua Island to dive with Thresher Sharks and can thoroughly recommend it. Otherwise elusive and shy this mystical shark regularly shows up at Monad Shoal – a 30 minute boat ride from Malapascua. The dive starts by descending down a line to the shoals’ plateau at [...]
We searched high and low in the Philippines for a resort that could combine fine diving, personal service and a welcoming atmosphere – then we came across Atlantis Dumaguete Resort. Built in a glorious tropical garden of indigenous trees and tropical foliage the setting could not be more perfect. There’s a seafront restaurant and bar [...]
