We have the life... we can walk... we can swim... venture... discover... Be part of us (Lets go diving!)

Every single day and age where vacations are frequently built around sporting hobbies of every kind, it stands to reason that there would be the opportunity to design something new to ourselves. In every sports hobby we wanted to, we always give the best that we can do to fulfill the satisfaction and enjoyment, whether for recreation, commercial or industrial reasons.

Scuba diving as one of the famous sports hobby in Malapascua plays a vital role in the life of foreign and travelers. Malapascua is known for some of the best shark diving in the Philippines, famous for the Thresher Sharks, which can be seen at any time of year at Monad Shoal. This is reputedly the only place in the world where these Thresher Sharks can be seen within recreational diver limits on a regular basis. The owners of Malapascua Exotic Island Dive Resort, Dik and Cora de Boer carried out the first encounters with the Thresher Sharks in 1997. Later, film crews and dive magazines from all over the world came to visit our resort just to see this phenomenon.

If you wanted to become part of our momentous memories, here are our quick tips of joining our team. By following these helpful hints, your diving period will be worth to remember.

Plan Ahead - To guarantee that your special day is exactly the way you visualize it, you need to start planning as early as possible so you don't get locked out of your diving dream. If you really want scuba diving, start planning now! Don't miss the opportunity.

Organization is Key - Most of the time, the first step in planning a scuba diving, is finding the best dive shop center and instructors.
