North Atoll - Terraces - Tubbataha Reef

The North Atoll’s Terraces offer a series of reef plateaus stepping down into deeper water. Here, we typically see larger pelagic species patrolling the drop-offs, often grey reef sharks and sometimes even a whitetip reef shark or two resting on the sandy bottom. This site is a solid choice for those who enjoy drifting along a wall and keeping an eye out for bigger fish. It’s a good early morning dive to catch the action.
