Moalboal, Cebu is a famous diving spot in Cebu because of the pawikans, corals, and the sardine run.

Normally seen in the waters up north, specifically, in Malapascua Island, this magnificent creature decided to show up and excite more divers in Moalboal.
According to the uploader of the video from JT’s Getaway Adventures, they do see thresher sharks once in a while swimming in their waters looking for food.

“Once in a while lang gyud …. Makaswerti lang makatiming nga manggawas sila para mangita og food…. Tagsaon ra gyud kaayo,” they said.
(It’s only once in a while….One would be lucky to chance upon them when they would come out to find food….It is only very seldom.)
This was taken by tour guide Bobby Tapales of JT’s Getaway Adventures.
What a majestic sight to see, right?
