A practical Malapascua diving guide covering thresher sharks at Kimud Shoal, Gato Island, local reefs, trip length, certification, packages, courses and transport.

A practical guide from Cebu Airport to Malapascua via Maya Port, covering private and public transfer options, boat connections, timing and current-rate confirmation.

From my first visit to Malapascua in 2018 to becoming part of a dive resort on the island, this is a personal account of how thresher shark diving has evolved before and after the pandemic—and what it truly means to witness one of the world’s most unique sharks up close.
