Comments	This was my 3rd trip on this boat, so I really like it. The whole trip was great, but the highlights for most on the boat were the Thresher Sharks in Malapascua, and the Whale Sharks in Bohol. No strobes were allowed on either of those dives, but I doubt they would've mattered as you don't get close enough to use them anyway. We saw plenty of Threshers and I managed to get a few images. I wasn't impressed with the Whale Shark operation. It's pretty much a zoo with hoards of snorklers and divers in not the best of visibility. Overall it was a great trip.
