Malapascua 2026

This May, we braved the traffic in Cebu (and according to one account, "Bigfoot") with friends to visit our favorite dive-centric island in the world. Malapascua diving means early mornings, long days, and longer boat rides to underwater mountains miles from anywhere to see big animals with long tails. Once you see thresher sharks with your own two eyeballs, you will be drawn back to their siren call again and again. Music: "Frigga" by Cornerstone Cues
