Subject: Post: <p>After a night in Cebu we continued our journey to Malapascua island. First five hours on a bus and an hour on a boat and we arrived this small tropical island, kind of reminding me of Koh Tao or Phi Phi with much less development and modern infrastructure. The island is mostly known as a diving island, and the biggest reason to dive here are the rare and endangered thresher sharks.</p><p></p><p>Today was the first dive day here. The thresher shark dives would head out already at 04:45 in the morning, so we decided to skip them on the first day and I just went on a normal dive trip to a nearby island while Iryna stayed home working.</p><p></p><p>Not much to say about the dives, much colder water than expected (+27C so not really that cold but gets cold in an hour with a thin 1mm wetsuit..) and not that great visibility. The first dive started by passing a cool dark underwater tunnel through the island which was definitely interesting, but after that it was rather bland. Found a large whitetip shark though, in addition to a snake and a seahorse. :)</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
