Book your dives in Tubbataha, the most beautiful site in the Philippines

Tubbataha

One of the Philippines' underwater gems, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A must-see dive for lovers of pristine coral reefs and exceptional marine life, this legendary site is only accessible during a very short season, generally from mid-March to mid-June.

To preserve its exceptional biodiversity, visitor numbers are strictly regulated. Tubbataha is open to the public for only 3 months a year; consequently, only about 1,200 to 1,600 divers visit the park annually for tourist and recreational diving, making it a rare and privileged experience for certified divers.
