Chase thresher sharks at sunrise and mandarin fish at sunset on a nine-night dive trip to Malapascua Island, based at Evolution Diving Resort — plus four island day trips. Thresher sharks surface near-daily at Kimud Shoal, mandarin fish perform their sunset ritual at The Lighthouse, and Kalanggaman Island delivers a postcard sandbar. The package covers 9 nights double occupancy with daily breakfast, 7 dive days and 21 total dives — including 3 night dives and the signature thresher-shark and mandarin-fish dives — with Nitrox on all dives, island day trips to Gato, Kalanggaman (×2) and Capitancillo with lunch, marine fees, and round-trip Cebu ⇄ Malapascua group transfers. Per-person rates are $2,451 (Standard AC) or $2,601 (Deluxe AC) for divers and $918 for non-divers, whose package includes a seat on all four day-trip boats with lunch and group transfers (lunch and dinner beyond day trips à la carte). The resort has reserved 10 rooms for this group, with capacity for up to 20 divers at double occupancy. An optional Cebu City extension is available after Malapascua, paid individually and not included in trip pricing. Room options at Evolution Diving Resort (10 rooms reserved): Standard Twin AC (4 rooms) — the budget option: two single beds, air conditioning, and hot water. No minibar, TV, or private balcony. Deluxe AC (6 rooms) — the upgraded option: mahogany furniture, minibar, hot shower, a TV with a digital film and show library, complimentary tea and coffee, and a private balcony.
