Advice for diving Monad Shoal in Philippines
I had a FANTASTIC Thresher Shark dive on this dive site.
The reef starts around 14m where there is a large plato the it drops off to 30m where there are cleaning stations that the Thresher sharks use to remove the parasites that they have picked up.
I would recommend that If you are diving this site that you use Nitrox as it is a deep dive and you will want the extended bottom time. after we spent 15 minutes with the Sharks we multi levelled the remaining time on the dive and on the plato there were 7 eagle rays. We also found a blue ringed octopus. The day before I dived there was a Whale shark spotting but I was not so lucky.
Not advised for Open water level divers.
