Devocean Divers Malapascua

Devocean Divers Malapascua is a PADI 5 Star accredited Instructor Development dive centre on Malapascua Island, off the northern tip of Cebu in the Philippines. Reached via Mactan International Airport followed by a road and boat transfer, it offers spectacular daily diving — most famously with the thresher shark, alongside whitetip, blacktip, hammerhead and even tiger sharks, plus sting rays, manta rays, turtles and a couple of shipwrecks.

Courses and diving for every level

With 3 PADI Instructors and 6 languages spoken, Devocean Divers runs fun dives, dive safaris and a full range of PADI courses. Newcomers can start with the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or Open Water Diver, while those going further can take Advanced Open Water, Enriched Air, Emergency First Response, or the professional Divemaster path. Half-day dive trips start from USD 60.

Signature sites include Gato Island, Kalanggaman Island, Kimud Shoal, the Dona Marilyn Wreck and a convenient house reef. Between dives, relax on golden sands lined with coconut trees — this waterfront centre makes Malapascua a true divers' paradise.
