Diving at Malapascua is a lot of fun and there's plenty of variety. Did you try at Gato Island where you swim through a passage underneath the island? That is a great dive, and going through the passage is really cool. At one stage just after entering the passage it eventually becomes dark and you can't see the entry or exit! You carry on for a bit and the exit soon comes into view.

I also really enjoyed snorkeling over the sea grass in front of the my dive accommodation. They seemed to think because it was only sea grass the snorkeling was bad, but it was some of the most interesting filming I've done. There were large schools of rabbitfish grazing on the sea grass, moving constantly in their large numbers, shimmering gold in the late afternoon light. I also followed large sea snakes around the sea grass on a few occasions. They didn't mind my presence at all and just continued hunting as I swam alongside filming.

The thresher sharks are of course the major draw card of Malapascua but there is a lot of underwater variety if you look for it.
