Dive Center - Malapascua

Dive Center keeps things unfussy on Malapascua. They’re a solid choice if you're here primarily for the thresher sharks; they run several trips a day to Monad Shoal, often getting there early to catch the action. We've found their guides know the currents well and are good at positioning you for a look at the threshers. It’s a no-frills setup, which suits divers who just want to gear up, dive, and don't need all the extra bells and whistles. If you’re already certified and comfortable with a simpler operation, they'll get you in the water efficiently.
