Thresher Shark Divers

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Welcome to Thresher Shark Divers, the premier PADI Five Star Instructor Development and Scuba Diving Center located in the beautiful island of Malapascua, Cebu - the home of the famous thresher sharks!

If you're looking for an unforgettable diving experience, you've come to the right place. Our highly experienced and knowledgeable dive instructors will guide you through the stunning underwater world of Malapascua, known for its rich biodiversity and unique marine species, including the elusive thresher sharks. We offer daily diving in small groups with experienced PADI Divemasters and Instructors, many of them with 5,000+ dives around Malapascua alone. 

At Thresher Shark Divers, we offer a wide range of courses to cater to all levels of divers, from beginners to professionals. Our PADI Five Star Instructor Development Center status ensures that we meet the highest standards in scuba diving education, equipment and safety.

Malapascua is the only place in the world where thresher sharks can be seen daily. And there is plenty more on offer: wreck and reefs, wall dives and macro dives, drift dives and night dives. There is a little bit of everything. Group sizes are kept small and courses are often taught one on one. 

But what truly sets us apart is our dedication to conservation and sustainable diving practices. We work closely with local communities to promote awareness and protection of the marine environment, including the thresher sharks, whose presence has made Malapascua a world-renowned diving destination.

What to expect

There has never been a better time to come to Malapascua for threshers! Shark sightings have been amazing, the best since we have been here.

With nearly 20 years of experience on Malapascua, we believe we offer you the best thresher shark experience possible.

You should be AOW to do this dive as listed. If you are Open Water, depending on experience, you may be required to go with an instructor for an additional charge. 

You must stay on Malapascua the night before in order to do this dive. Please come and see us the day by 6pm to sign up and sort out your equipment. Please contact us if this is not possible. 

Timing may change slightly. 

More info about the thresher sharks! 

Thresher sharks were always seen at nearby Monad Shoal and in recent years in great numbers almost every day. But since 2022, they are not as reliable at Monad, we think it may be because there are now tigers sharks and bull sharks at Monad which we do sometimes see! 

The thresher sharks have moved to Kimud Shoal, a site similar to Monad, but shallower and further away and we now go to Kimud most days.  They are almost always incredible sightings! Kimud used to be known for hammerhead sharks, and they are still around, but only very occasionally spotted. 

Threshers used to be most common at dawn, but we are now getting sightings throughout the morning. So we usually offer double shark dives, and our new three-shark-dive trips are proving very popular. We also offer 3-dive day trips starting with one shark dive followed by a double dive at Gato, our other most popular site, known for close encounters with whitetip reef sharks, and some amazing macro life. Be aware that some days we may be offering these dives instead of the 2-dive Kimud trip. You may sit out the 3rd dive or do it for an extra charge.
