Malapascua!

Yeah, some of you might only hear of this place for the very first time. Actually me too when my friends say "let's go Malapascua for diving!".

Malapascua is an island to the north of Cebu island. It is supposed to be the only all-year-round thresher shark cleaning station.

Quoting Thresher Shark Divers site:
The thresher shark, or Alopias pelagicus is a type of mackerel shark or Lamniformes. In German it is known as Der Gemeine Fuchshai, or fox shark. The threshers grow up to a length of 5-6 meters, about half of which is the huge scythe-like tail for which it is named.

And not to worry, thresher sharks feed on squids and schooling fishes like mackerel and herring. :)

Looking forward to a good dive and great fun with my dive gang.
