Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect the Sharks
Thresher sharks are shy and easily disturbed. Stay motionless on the sandy bottom, control your breathing, and never chase or reach towards a shark. Flash photography is prohibited at the cleaning station — it drives the sharks away for hours.
Marine Conservation
Malapascua's reefs were damaged by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 and are still recovering. Never touch coral, anchor on sand not reef, and support dive shops that contribute to reef restoration programmes. The Thresher Shark Divers foundation runs conservation projects.
