Tubbataha Reef: One of the World’s Best Diving Destinations

Join us as we explore the mesmerising underwater landscapes on this lovely liveaboard and diverse marine life of Tubbataha Reef and Malpascua in the Philippines.
Tubbataha, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site, provides thrilling dive sites such as wall and drift diving, wrecks, and the exciting possibility of encountering tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks, mantas, and whale sharks. Additionally, Tubbataha boasts some of the most magnificent coral gardens globally, with flourishing gigantic fan corals in its waters.

Malapascua: Thresher Shark Heaven

Malapascua diving offers something for everyone, from shark and ray encounters, reef and wreck exploration, to walls, deep dives, and macro/muck dives – ensuring an exhilarating experience for all underwater enthusiasts.
