A dive safari to the Tubbataha Reefs is an unforgettable experience! Located in the Sulu Sea, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the best diving destinations in the world, known for its pristine coral reefs, diverse marine life, and incredible underwater visibility.

Key Highlights of a Tubbataha Dive Safari

• Best Time to Go: The dive season runs from mid-March to mid-June, when the waters are calm and visibility is at its best.

• Marine Life: Expect to see whale sharks, manta rays, turtles, reef sharks, and over 600 species of fish.

• Diving Conditions: Visibility ranges from 30 to 45 meters, making it perfect for underwater photography.
