Jessie Beazley North End - Tubbataha Reef
The northern tip of Jessie Beazley offers an exposed drift, often with strong currents that sweep you along the wall. We’ve seen grey reef sharks patrolling the drop-off and big schools of jacks congregating in the blue. Keep an eye out into the deeper water; manta rays occasionally glide past. This site is best for experienced divers comfortable with active conditions and looking for pelagic encounters.
