Come to Thresher Shark Divers to complete your training

Once on Malapascua you'll learn and master dive skills from one of our highly-trained PADI Instructors during the five dives of the Advanced Open Water course. Your course will include one or two dives at Monad Shoal to see our famous thresher sharks!

Another option to consider is to take the AOW course in combination with Enriched Air Nitrox: it will save you time and money, and give you a longer time with the sharks. And now nitrox is also available with PADI's e-learning program.
