About this site
Monad Shoal is a shoal off Malapascua where the top lies between 20 and 27 metres. From there a sheer drop-off falls to 45 metres, and a second drop-off continues beyond recreational dive depths.
A cleaning station on the shoal draws tiger sharks. The best depth for meeting the life of the site is between 22 and 27 metres, and dives here run from 21 to 40 metres, which makes the shoal well suited to dives on enriched air.
