marine natural park and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
a place of global importance being preserved for future generations of humankind.
Tubbataha supports an unparalleled variety of marine creatures.
Colorful reef fish crowd corals growing in the shallows while sharks
and pelagics haunt the steep drop offs to the open sea.
A team of rangers are stationed on the reef year-round and, from
March until June, divers visit Tubbataha to experience the wonders of
this unique underwater world.

municipality situated 130km to the north. The park is 150km southeast
of Puerto Princesa City - capital of the Province of Palawan - the
usual jump-off point for visitors and dive boats going to Tubbataha. It
is composed of North and South Atolls and the adjacent Jessie Beazley
Reef.
