Dive Malapascua

Before I forget the details of my recent trip to Malapascua Island, Phillippines, I should state that I got here via Cebu Pacific airlines, a budget carrier in the wee hours of the morning (4am to be roughly exact :) ) on a nice balmy Thursday.  Mactan international airport does not really have anything much so I just go some local breakfast and sat down to finish my National Geographic magazine while waiting for my dive buddy and transport to Maya harbour.

The boats they use in the Phillipines

Me smiling cause I am so happy!
The beach near our dive center.

Gato Island.  We saw a pair of white tip sharks sleeping in an underwater cave here

Thresher shark divers, where we signed up for dives.  Nice folks there.

Beach is usually empty since the guys who come here go diving all day

Another nice shot.
On one of the days we were there, we interacted with the local kids when they were picking starfish and eating sea urchin.  It was after a very fulfilling early morning dive to see the thresher sharks at local fish cleaning station.  We saw three that morning!

Sea stars!

Baby blue ringed octopus

He threw something I don't know what

A close up shot of the octopus.  It changes colour when touched!

What happens when you flip a starfish over? 

They flip back!
Actually most of the interesting stuff I saw was underwater, especially during night dives.  I personally think you see a whole lot of activity at night, especially from crabs, prawns, octopus, cuttlefish, squid and mandarin fish.  Pretty amazing stuff.  On the last day of our holiday, we had a short trip to check out Cebu city.  We did not have much time but there wasn't anything to see anyway so we just had a short stop to check out their main cathedral and the Santo Niño basillica.
