Malapascua wasn’t even on my original route through the Philippines. I hadn’t heard much about it, didn’t really plan for it, and clearly didn’t do the best pre-trip research. But that’s how travel goes sometimes. I ran into a few people who wouldn’t shut up about the diving, so I figured, why not? At the…
