One star deduction for the dive sites. This has nothing to do with Ocean Vida or Sea Explorers. Overall, however, the island needs to think about regulating the number of guests. It is totally overcrowded and you can tell underwater.

Overall, we were absolutely satisfied. The service and staff at the hotel and restaurant were super nice, helpful and always available for questions or requests.

The rooms are of course not a 5 star Western European standard, but the rooms were very well equipped and comfortable and cozy. The small balcony was particularly nice in the evening. Given the general infrastructure, there were power cuts from time to time, but nothing tragic. The food in the restaurant was very tasty and absolutely sufficient in every category. And very cheap by European standards. So for 2 weeks, eating out at least 2 times a day, including drinks and cocktails for 2 people = approx. 350 €. That's more than okay.

The dive center itself was well organized, in case of questions or problems you always had a direct contact person and problems were solved promptly.
We didn't have any rental equipment, but everything we saw seemed to be in good working order.

The dive sites themselves are very varied - of course the base can't do anything about natural conditions such as currents or lots of sediment and limited visibility. But there was something for everyone, steep walls, plateaus with beautiful corals and lots of fish, lots of pinnacles, beautiful house reefs and something for everyone in terms of difficulty.

We felt very comfortable at the resort. Beautiful rooms and competent and very, very nice staff.
The organization and support at the dive center was also really good.
Malapascua is a beautiful destination for big thresher sharks, but also for beautiful coral reefs and small fish.
You have to get up early for the thresher sharks, but you have a very, very good chance of getting them in front of your mask. The dives were also quite shallow (up to approx. 22 m) and very relaxed..., as were the sharks ????
Our guide Alvin was also great and we had a lot of fun between the dives. The boat crew on the various boats were always very helpful and friendly.

Ideally located on the Bounty Beach of Malapascua. The rooms are tastefully decorated and partly with "upcycling" materials. You are received and served very friendly. Only the food quality has fluctuated greatly.

Super can only be recommended, the only drawback is that the beach is not really freed from the washed up plastic waste.

Especially you have to emphasize the food

Dive sites south of the island are really not worth diving anymore. Gato Island and Kimud Shoal, on the other hand, are really worthwhile.

Freshly renovated, spacious rooms and very courteous staff. Besides the impressive dives with thresher sharks, other varied and beautiful dive spots are available. Spa at Buena Vida is also recommendable.

Great encounters with thresher sharks. Unfortunately many crowns of thorns on the reefs
