Shark Airport - Tubbataha Reef

Shark Airport in Tubbataha, it’s a good one. Not always an adrenaline rush, but consistently interesting. We typically drop to about 27 meters and settle in, often finding a dozen or so reef sharks patrolling the sandy bottom and around the coral heads. It’s not a drift dive, more of a hang-out-and-watch site, which makes it perfect for photographers or anyone who just wants to observe without getting tumbled. Visibility is usually solid here, giving you plenty of time to take in the sheer number of sharks that call this place home.
