Have you ever seen the mouth of a nudibranch? Meet the nudibranch Hypselodoris variobranchia, with its bright purple body, white border, and yellow rhinophores and gills. Nudibranch feed on sea sponges, absorbing the chemicals from their prey that can help make them unpalatable to predators. Don’t be fooled by their beautiful appearance—these little sea slugs can pack a chemical defense!

Despite the occasional typhoon and rainy days in February, the month turned out pretty fab!

Learning never stops, no matter your age.
We celebrated 8 new SSI Instructors on the island, took a 9-year-old Scuba Explorer on some exciting underwater adventures, and had a 65-year-old student upgrade to Advanced Open Water!

And of course, a big shoutout to our fun divers — despite the cold rains and chilly waters, the diving definitely did not disappoint.

Tanks for choosing to dive with DiverGems!

With effect from 6 February, the Tabango government has officially established Kimud Shoal as a Marine Protected Area (MPA).

This initiative aims to promote the protection, conservation, and sustainable management of the dive site and its marine inhabitants, while supporting inclusive and sustainable tourism.

Below are the new rules and regulations implemented at Kimud Shoal. By working together, we can continue to experience the incredible privilege of seeing thresher sharks wild and up close—while ensuring their habitat remains healthy and protected for generations to come.

Travellers from all over the world visit Malapascua for this rare encounter. As humans, it is of utmost importance to respect the inhabitants of the ocean—we are merely its visitors.

Quit playing games with our hearts, Mother Nature!
January 2026 kept us on our toes—sunny days one moment, typhoons and dive cancellations the next.

We’re grateful to have made it through and even more grateful to the divers who still reached our island.

To those who couldn’t make it because of the weather, we hope to sea you next time for epic dives!
