Why dive here
With 477+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, dolphins and eagle rays - South Atoll - Delsan Wreck offers some of Tubbataha Reef's richest wreck diving.
The Delsan Wreck, sitting on Tubbataha's South Atoll, offers a different flavour of diving from the usual wall explorations. This isn't a deep technical dive; instead, it's a wonderfully colonised wreck that's easily accessible and full of character. You'll spend your time exploring the structures, now completely encrusted with corals and home to schools of snapper and fusiliers. Keep an eye out for resident groupers and barracuda patrolling the deck. It's a great site for photographers looking for something a bit different, and for anyone who loves the blend of history and marine life.
