Malapascua’s 1st IDC!

June 2, 2009

Archive post from 2 June 2009. Some details have changed since then. Since 2022 our daily thresher shark dives go to Kimud Shoal, not Monad Shoal, and we see threshers there every day of the year. For diving on Malapascua now, see our thresher shark guide and best time to dive.

We welcome Course Director John Taylor and are proud to be the location for the FIRST EVER IDC HELD ON MALAPASCUA! John comes to us with many years experience as a CD and many successful students, including past, present and we hope future members of staff. David and Sarah are our first two candidates, with our instructor Charlie doing her IDC Staff Instructor course and Mike and myself staffing.
Best of luck to them both!
