Why
There are 7,107 islands in the Philippines and although there are no direct flights, there are good connections through Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Middle East. The small island of Malapascua is about five miles northeast of Cebu, one of most developed islands in the Philippines. Malapascua is known as one of the best shark diving locations in the Philippines.

Sharks seen here include White Tips, Black Tips, Nurses, Hammerheads and Thresher sharks. It is the only place in the world where Threshers can be seen close up on a daily basis.

What else
Malapascua is a small tropical island with only a handful of resorts. Many visitors twin it with another dive destination like Sangat, which has great wreck-diving on sunken Japanese wrecks.
