Tubbataha North Atoll - Tubbataha Reef

The North Atoll at Tubbataha is where we always head for that quintessential Tubbataha feeling. Drop in and you’re immediately enveloped by the sheer scale of the place. We love drifting along the walls here, where the coral formations are just mind-bogglingly intricate, all those different hard corals creating their own little cities. You'll see schools of big-eye trevally so dense they momentarily block out the sun, and often we’ve had silvertips cruising by, just checking us out. Keep an eye out in the blue for the larger pelagics; it’s not uncommon to spot a tiger shark casually patrolling or a manta ray gliding past. This site is fantastic for experienced divers who appreciate current and big animal action. It's a proper wild reef experience, the kind that reminds you why you got into diving in the first place.
