Dive-site story
Located along the southern rim of Tubbataha's South Atoll, Delsan Wreck is centered around the scattered remnants of a sunken cargo vessel. Divers rarely come for the wreckage itself, which has largely integrated into the reef flat; instead, the main draw is the wall and a deep crevasse where pelagic species congregate. Swift oceanic currents sweep past the drop-off, attracting apex predators from the open Sulu Sea.
Frequent pelagic action along a dramatic vertical wall and reef cleft
Regular sightings of scalloped hammerhead sharks, grey reef sharks, and whitetip reef sharks
Massive swirling schools of bigeye trevally, chevron barracuda, and dogtooth tuna
Pristine hard coral coverage across the shallow plateau
