Elusive threshers and unforgettable adventures.

Spend 10 nights cruising around Malapascua & Visayas on board S/Y Philippine Siren in a premium twin share cabin for one diver.

In a diver's mind, Malapascua is often directly linked with thresher shark encounters and with almost guaranteed daily sightings on Monad Shoal it is not surprising. But there is more to Malapascua than just the threshers, especially when it is combined with the delights that the Visayas have to offer.

Diving:
Monad Shoal, Malapascua Island
Is one of the few dive spots in the world where the shy pelagic thresher sharks may be seen on a daily basis. Divers rest at approximately 25m (90ft) on the sandy bottom to watch the sharks approach and be cleaned. Other visitors to the shoal include manta, devil and eagle rays. Diving with Nitrox is recommended to enjoy extended bottom time.

Chocolate Island
This little island has the typical topography around Malapascua area. The shallow tops full of soft corals and algae are home for different kinds of nudibranchs. The shallow bottom of maximum 16 m (50ft) around this island is the perfect spot for odd shaped bottom dwellers like bearded scorpionfish, devil scorpionfish and dwarf cuttlefish but also many different kinds of sea stars, sea urchins with their urchin clingfish inside, black velutinid and ringed pipefish can be found.

White Tip Alley, Gato Island
As the name suggests this dive site provides an almost guaranteed sighting of white tip reef sharks that enjoy their rest on the sand tucked under rocks and coral bommies. Other species found here include scorpion fish and seahorses. Pygmy seahorses may also be found too as well as whip coral shrimps which cling to the colourful whip corals adorning the overhangs of the island.

Kimud Shoal
Close by to Monad Shoal and running along the same outer reef ridge is another superb site to spot for thresher sharks and a variety of rays, but the main draw is the opportunity to see hammerhead sharks that visit the waters here between December and May each year. Minimum depth is 12m (40ft).
