Malapascua

One of the many islands in the Philippines is called Malapascua. It is a little jewel unfortunately abused by tourism.

Walking down the coast you find Scuba diving center after the other. All manned by foreigners.
The price range between them was fairly similar but we had known about a dive center located in the middle of the island that is still managed and manned by locals. They also had the best prices on the island! These are the Sea slug divers! Highly recommened!

Myself and @rooddzy are seasoned scuba divers, we have over 300 combined dives together. Well we do live on an island :)
Anyway, it turns out the instructor never heard about Malta, yet while looking at the magazines on his desk I managed to spot 3 articles of dives in Malta!! What are the odds. He was out of words.

The Dive

We had to meet at 3 or 4am since we needed to get on a boat and drive to the dive spot before sunrise. The reason for this is that Thresher sharks come along side this ridge to have cleaner shrimps take care of them. While doing so they come up this steep ridge and offer a spectacular sight to divers. Here is a couple of images from the dive :)
