Why dive here
With 477+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, dolphins and eagle rays - Light House - Tubbataha South Atoll offers some of Tubbataha Reef's richest reef diving.
The Light House site on Tubbataha’s South Atoll is a solid dive, particularly if you appreciate a good mixed reef. We usually drop in and drift along a wall that bottoms out around 26 meters, keeping an eye on the blue for bigger stuff. Expect a steady parade of reef fish: Panda Butterflyfish are usually everywhere, and we often spot Harlequin Sweetlips tucked under ledges. Midnight Snapper zip around in schools, and you might even catch a glimpse of a cruising Napoleon Wrasse or a few Blackfin Barracuda. It’s a comfortable intermediate dive, mostly a gentle drift, perfect for soaking in the general buzz of the reef.
