Additional Information

Tubbataha Reefs National Park is one of the largest continuous reefs in the Philippines providing a centre of attraction for large schools of fish, turtles, countless shark encounters and manta rays. The area was declared a World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993 and for a good reason as it is home to a unique example of an atoll system with a high density of marine life.

Sangat Island home to the Sangat Island Dive Resort is one of the limestone islands in the region with three white sand beaches edged by sheer limestone cliffs, dense jungle forestation and a 455 metre mountain peak. The island also features a marine park and sanctuary with over 75% of the reefs remaining intact and very healthy. The island’s location nestled alongside the extreme northern boundary of Coron Bay makes the ideal base for your wreck diving holiday.
