    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Helmuth Reef is pure Tubbataha, a wall dive dropping deep, coated in hard corals and a surprising number of giant barrel sponges. We've often found grey reef sharks patrolling the drop-off, particularly in the mornings. Keep an eye on the blue for manta rays gliding past the wall. It's a great spot for experienced divers looking for larger pelagics in a classic Tubbataha setting.
