South Atoll - Tubbataha Reef

Ignore the Delsan Wreck name; there’s barely a trace of a boat here. What South Atoll really delivers is a serious predator parade. We’ve finned alongside dogtooth tuna, watched great barracuda eyeball us, and seen giant trevally cruise past. Keep an eye out for white-tip reef sharks, and if you’re lucky, a hammerhead or even a tiger shark might make an appearance. There's also "The Cut," a massive crack in the reef where gangs of grey reef sharks often hang out. This spot is definitely for divers who want to see the ocean's top predators in action.
