Dive-site story
Situated at the isolated northern outpost of the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, the eastern section of Jessie Beazley Reef features an undercut coral wall that drops sheer into oceanic depths. Dense coverage of massive sea fans, sponges, and hard coral formations cloaks the upper reef crest before giving way to pelagic cruising grounds. Shifts in current draw apex predators and schooling pelagics directly along the reef edge.
Sheer oceanic wall drop-off lined with massive barrel sponges and gorgonian sea fans
Frequent encounters with schooling hammerheads, grey reef sharks, and whitetip reef sharks
Cruising schools of dogtooth tuna, giant trevallies, and chevron barracuda in the blue
