Diving trip with Anders Salesjö to Malapascua and Southern Leyte in the Philippines. The trip goes over Easter 2027.
Price from SEK 39 * Date 20 March - 02 Apr.
Experience - Malapascua and Southern Leyte are located in the central and eastern parts of the Philippines. Malapascua has managed to build a reputation both for divers and backpackers, and mainly the magical fox sharks or thresher sharks have made the place almost mythical. Southern Leyte is not yet that developed for diving and mass tourism has not yet found its way here. The area around Sogod Bay is known for whale sharks in season and other cartilaginous fish are also regularly seen here such as manta rays and sometimes also hammerhead sharks, reef sharks and lots of other fish.
The diving at the various sites is done from a traditional Filipino bangka boat and is simple. Tank and weights are included and we have booked 22 dives in advance with 10 at Malapascua + 12 dives in Södra Leyte* at the various locations. More diving can of course be booked on site. * - of which 2 night dives
One of the world's most beautiful coral walls is here at Southern Leyte and the Napantao dive site, pure magic! The thresher sharks at Kimod shoal in Malapascua are an almost magical experience that should be on every diver's wish list. At Southern Leyte, we will of course follow up on the coral planting project that we have been involved in before and which was very much appreciated.
Marine biology and UV photo - On the trip you will dive and experience the animals on the coral reefs. At the same time, you also have the opportunity to learn more about corals and other animals you see. Our ambassador Anders Salesjö will hold regular gatherings where he will show pictures and tell more about the animals below the surface. If you are an underwater photographer and want help with lens selection and camera settings, etc., Anders is always at hand
Your accommodation - At Malapascua you simply live at a diving resort and you have the beach around you most of the time. In Southern Leyte, we stay at a small, simple family-run resort in Padre Burgos. The Ocean View rooms are small and simple and are located directly on the beach in direct connection to the main building. The majority of the time you will not be in your room and the luxury is to be here away from mass tourism. Breakfast is included at both places and we buy other meals on site.
Ambassador Anders Salesjö - Anders is a marine biologist and underwater photographer and works everyday teaching marine biology. He is extremely curious about the animal life below the surface and can never get enough of being down there with his camera. He is also passionate about communicating his experiences from the world below the surface to others. Anders' view is that it is very important to spread knowledge about life below the surface.
* NOTE Note A- The price of the trip is very roughly estimated in February 2024 based on prices we can relate to for 2025. The price may be adjusted before 2027 depending on foreign operators' price changes, flight prices and exchange rates. Only fully paid arrangements guarantee a fixed price
