Oscar’s Bar

Located high up among the palm trees on Bounty Beach, Oscar’s Bar is the life and soul of Thresher Shark Divers. A British-style bar, very well stocked with possibly the best selection of imported beers and liquors this side of Cebu City.

Drinks and Music

Our bartenders are skilled in making a wide range of cocktails. Must-tries are the House Specials: Pink Flamango and Mandarin Cosmopolitan. If beer is more your style, as well as the ever-present San Miguel, we serve Guinness, Boddington’s, Strongbow Cider and much more. For those who are diving early in the morning, why not try a delicious fresh fruit shake?

The stereo is packed with thousands of tunes with something for everyone, so make your requests to Trevor who commands the music selection each night and has spent 10 years perfecting the playlist!


The Shark Bite Shot

The bar is a great place to meet people and make new friends. Many evenings at around 7pm, you will see (or even participate in) one of TSD’s strongest traditions: the Shark Bite Shot ceremony, which honours every one of our newly certified divers.

You might also be present for one of our frequent, often impromptu parties! Once the singing starts, you know that bell will start ringing for rounds of shots, and once the bell starts, it rarely stops until everyone is under the table!

If you want something a bit quieter, the beach tables and rooftop beachfront seating area are great spots for a romantic evening far enough from the bar to have each other to yourselves.

Food and Snacks

We serve food throughout the day. The Paratha Chicken Curry roll is a perennial favourite, as is Chef’s Homemade Chicken Liver Pate. Breakfast options include everything from Full English to fresh fruit pancakes, and we serve proper espresso coffee (Cappuccinos, Cafe Lattes) using imported Italian espresso beans.

We also run regular events including our famous Sunday Roast, complete with stuffing and Yorkshire pudding, and Beach BBQs.

Sustainable Seafood Policy

We are certified Shark Safe. No shark or shark product may be served or offered. All seafood is responsibly sourced and is not harvested using techniques associated with shark by-catch such as long-line fishing or bottom trawling.

We will not buy whole fish locally. There are too few fish in Philippine waters and as fish are the main source of protein for local people, we feel we should leave what little is left for them. We also will not buy tuna or farmed salmon.
