Staghorn Point - Tubbataha Reef

Staghorn Point, in Tubbataha, delivers exactly what the name suggests: a good helping of healthy staghorn corals. We've found the reef here is mostly flat, a gently sloping plateau that tops out around 24 meters, making it a comfortable drift for intermediates. While it doesn't always have the big pelagic action of some of Tubbataha's deeper walls, we often spot reef sharks cruising the perimeter and schools of fusiliers swirling above the coral. It’s a solid dive for appreciating the reef structure itself, especially on those days when the current lets you really take your time.
