Philippines Expedition

Seemingly endless visibility, enormous pelagics and profuse corals draw divers annually to Tubbataha Reefs.  Accessible by liveaboard dive boat only three months per year, Tubbataha is one of those rare and special places.  Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, big stuff like sharks, dolphins and and mantas can be seen here along with huge schools of jacks, tuna and barracuda.  Small life is plentyful for those into macro photography. 

From Puerto Galera and El Galleon Resort it's just a short trip to some of the best diving in the Philippines.  Verde Island, The Canyons and Monkey Beach are just a few of the many world class dive sites in the area offering great macro life plus large schools of pelagifc and reef dwelling fish. 

This fully escorted trip features 6 nights onboard the 120ft. MV Stella Maris Explorer diving the remote North and South Tubbataha Reefs and 5 nights at El Galleon Resort in Puerto Galera and much more.
