Why dive here
With 477+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, dolphins and eagle rays - Sulu Sea offers some of Tubbataha Reef's richest diving.
Drifting through Tubbataha's Sulu Sea, we've come to expect the unexpected. This isn't your average shore dive; it's a genuine oceanic experience, far from any mainland influence. Expect to see what the currents deliver: schooling jacks, barracuda, and occasionally, something larger passing through the blue. It's a place for divers comfortable with open water and a good surface signal, where the sheer scale of the reef system and its passing pelagics are the main draw.
