Malapascua Island |
||
Shark Point You get up early and take a 20 minute boat ride to the sunken island of Monad. The island has a diameter of 1.5km and starts at a depth of 12m then drops off to 45m. Shark Point is where you will see the thresher sharks. Occasionaly hammerheads and manta rays are also spotted. A 10 minute boat ride takes you to this place in the north western side of Malapascua. There is good rock formation down to 20m with beautiful soft corals, small reef fish, frogfish, lionfish, scopionfish and nudibranches. Right in front of the main beach and only 5 minutes boat ride away from the dive center, is a super place for night dives or an easy arternoon dive. Seahorse, frogfish, scorpionfish, lionfish and critters can be found here. This picturesque spot is also perfect for snorklers and swimmers. Rare longnose hawkfish nudibranch, ribbon eel and even the odd thresher shark can be found along the wall, amidst the large black corals gardens. A typhoon in '82 sank this cargo ship and sent 6 of its crew members to the grave. The wreck is 90m long and laying on its starbord side on a sandy bottom. Good varieties of corals, lionfish, scorpionfish, batfish, nudibranch along with occasioal sightings of nurse shark, whitetipped reef shark, eagle ray and stingray. This dive is to 32m. |
