Dive Subculture Technical Dive Center& Diver Gems: Crafting Unforgettable Technical Diving Experiences in Malapascua
In the heart of the Visayas, Dive Subculture Technical Dive Center has teamed up with DiverGems to offer world-class technical diving experiences in Malapascua. This picturesque island, known for its rich marine biodiversity, is not only famous for thresher sharks but also serves as a top destination for advanced and technical divers seeking adventure beneath the waves. Together, these two organizations are redefining technical diving in the Philippines, blending professional training, exhilarating dive sites, and exceptional customer service.
Dive Sites for Technical Diving
Malapascua offers unique sites ideal for technical divers, including deep walls, wrecks, and caverns, each with opportunities for exploration at significant depths. Here are some highlights:
• Monad Shoal: Famous for the early morning encounters with thresher sharks, this site is also a great place for deep technical dives and gas-switching exercises.
• Gato Island: Known for its underwater cave system, Gato offers sidemount divers a playground to explore. This dive presents tight swim-throughs and caverns.
Dive Sites for Technical Diving (Continued)
• Kimud Shoal: This site offers thrilling drift dives and deeper exploration opportunities, ideal for advanced Nitrox and decompression training. Strong currents attract pelagics, including hammerhead sharks, making it an exciting challenge for technical divers.
• Tapilon Wreck: A deep wreck from World War II, Tapilon offers the perfect site for trimix training and technical wreck penetration dives. The wreck sits at significant depths, requiring precise gas planning and decompression stops.
• Dona Marilyn Wreck: This sunken passenger ferry rests at about 32 meters and is accessible to recreational divers but can be explored further by those undertaking advanced technical training. Sidemount divers will find the tighter areas of the wreck particularly rewarding.
