Experience – Diving trip to Malapascua and Leyte with Oxygene to the lovely Philippines. Malapascua and Southern Leyte are located in the central and eastern parts of the Philippines. Malapascua has managed to build a reputation for both divers and backpackers and mainly the magical thresher sharks have made the place almost mythical. Southern Leyte is not yet very developed for diving and mass tourism has not yet found its way here. The area around Sogod Bay is known for whale sharks during the season and other cartilaginous fish are also regularly seen here such as manta rays and sometimes hammerhead sharks, reef sharks and lots of other fish.
Diving at the different sites is done from a traditional Filipino bangka boat and is easy. Tank and weights are included and you have plenty of diving during the trip but also time to relax at the different sites. More diving can of course be booked on site.
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.
Rich marine life and varied diving
On the trip you will dive and experience the animals on the coral reefs. You will dive in several different places. Sandy bottoms with strange animals, walls with corals, sponges and gorgonians, coral gardens, rock formations and on pinnacles. You will almost certainly see thresher sharks at Malapascua and with luck you will have whale sharks and mantas in Southern Leyte. For those of you who are underwater photographers or just like to take photos, Hanna from Oxygene is there and can give you tips.
Note – The price of the trip is a very rough estimate in October 2024 and based on prices we can relate to for 2025. The price will be adjusted for 2027 as foreign operators' prices, flight prices and exchange rates have changed since then. Only fully paid arrangements guarantee a fixed price

Along for the ride
On this diving trip to the Philippines, Oxygene diving center takes you to two really wonderful places. Malapascua, known for its thresher sharks and white sandy beaches, and Southern Leyte, where few go but which offers really good diving on very nice reefs, among others.andad with wall diving and macro diving. A lovely little resort with a personal touch.
Philippines
You start your journey by flying to Cebu City and here you will take out your luggage and go through immigration and then have a night there to catch up with the time zone and rest up after a long journey. The next day we take you on to Malapascua and experience the diving at this lovely island. After Malapascua it will be a trip to Southern Leyte and experience the tranquility and the fine reefs and the exciting marine life.
At both locations you have breakfast included during your stay and pre-booked diving packages. After two wonderful weeks in two completely different places and hopefully lots of new experiences and filled with new knowledge, you will return to Manila to rebook for an international flight and travel back to Scandinavia.
During your dive you will have the chance to experience a lot such as thresher sharks, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, frogfish, ghost pipefish, scorpion fish, nudibranchs, moray eels, octopuses, turtles, beautiful reefs, magical coral walls and lots of other fish.
