Devocean Divers Malapascua - Malapascua
The team at Devocean Divers Malapascua are just good people, plain and simple. We’ve always found them to be completely on the ball, whether you’re just rocking up for a couple of fun dives or you’re ready to commit to your Divemaster. They specialise in making everyone feel like a regular, which isn’t always easy on an island known for its big pelagic encounters. What we really love is their approach to Monad Shoal. Instead of the usual cattle-call scramble, they often suggest getting there a little earlier or later to avoid the rush. We’ve had some cracking thresher shark encounters with their guides, who know exactly where to position you for the best chance without feeling intrusive. The briefings are thorough, the rental gear is well-maintained, and after a morning of diving, sitting on their shaded deck with a cold drink just feels right. It’s a solid choice for anyone who appreciates professional service without the stuffiness, especially if you’re hoping to catch those elusive threshers.
