| Trip Report - Malapascua |

+======================+====================

Eat, sleep, 3/4 dives a day, this is the way we spent our Chinese new year in Malapascua. Thresher sharks, colored frog fish, spider crabs, pygmy seahorses, mandarin fish, the only thing we didn't see was a Hammerhead!

We'd like to share our trip with you with some photos and video we took in Malapascua.
