Diving Thresher Point in Cebu
Where is Thresher Point?
Thresher Point is located just across from Mactan, Cebu on the northern tip of Olango Island. Since the prevailing winds in Cebu, Philippines are generally from the South, this dive can be made almost year-round. Thresher Point is just off the coast from the fishing village of Tengo.
What's to see at Thresher Point?
Well, down deep (40m) there is a chance to see some of the resident thresher sharks, which are 4 meters long! Like with any other dive site, we can't guarantee that the thresher sharks will be spotted on any given dive, but the average chance is about fifty percent.
What are the conditions like at the Thresher Point?
The visibility at Thresher Point is variable, but it's typically between 20 and 40 meters. There can be some current at Thresher Point. In order to have a good chance of seeing the thresher sharks, we need to dive to around 40 meters. This dive is recommended for advanced divers who have experience with blue water descents. Technical divers may come and enjoy a greater chance to see these thresher sharks by making a team deco dive to 50m. This is a great graduation dive for your Technical Diving Course.
