Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park is home to some of the best diving in the Philippines and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

An amazing variety of marine life is found here ranging from colourful reef fish, spiny lobsters, immature manta rays, and turtles in shallow waters to shoals of Moorish Idols, jacks and snappers in the deep. The sheer walls are covered in huge barrel sponges and gorgonian sea fans. On patrol nearby, barracuda, tuna and reef sharks can be seen with manta rays and eagle rays, grouper and sometimes hammerhead sharks passing by. This area is best explored by liveaboard in season (Mar-Jun).
