This dive site, Light House, located in the South Atoll of Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, is renowned for its dramatic underwater landscape. Divers navigate along steep walls adorned with pristine, untouched coral formations. Tubbataha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts a rich history as one of the planet's most biodiverse marine ecosystems, making every dive an encounter with an ancient, vibrant world.
The site teems with marine life, offering incredible encounters with large schools of various reef fish, numerous shark species, and impressive large pelagics such as manta rays. The healthy coral ecosystems support a vast array of invertebrates, crustaceans, and smaller reef fish, though the focus is often on the spectacular big animal action.
The best time to visit Tubbataha is during the dry season, typically from March to June, when seas are calmest and visibility is at its peak, enhancing the chances of spotting migrating pelagics. This site is recommended for experienced divers due to potential strong currents and deeper profiles, while experienced freedivers will find ample depth and stunning clarity.
