Philippines Azores/Tubbataha

"Tubbataha needs to be on every diver's bucket list"

Imagine yourself surrounded by pristine hard corals as far as the eyes can see, thousands and thousands of reef fish, cruising sharks and rays, swimming turtles and drop-offs into oblivion. Welcome to Tubbataha!

Tubbataha is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is only accessible by liveaboard for 3 months out of the year. It's located in the Sulu Sea, at the center of the Coral Triangle between Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Rarely visited due to its location and its status as a marine preserve, Tubbataha is made up of two reefs, simply referred to as the North and South Reefs. The North and South Reefs both enclose a sandy lagoon. On the southern tip is an islet with a lighthouse. This is used as a rookery for birds and is frequented by turtles.

Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is home to no less than 573 species of fish, 373 species of corals, 11 species of sharks, 12 species of dolphins and whales, nestling hawksbill and green sea turtles. No wonder this remote ‘hidden gem’ of the Philippines is a haven for larger pelagics and even larger schools of fish.
