Diving with Thresher Sharks @ Malapascua


This morning at 5.30 we set out to Malapascuas most famous dive site - the Thresher sharks. The reasons why the sharks come to this specific reef in the morning everyday is simple: Parasites! There are small parasites that stick to they gills + other parts of the shark and irritate them. To get rid of these small parasites the sharks come to this specific place because there are "feeder" fish who eat up these parasites.

The sharks are pretty big and glittery and they swim close to you! Was amazing to see!
