Dive with Dolphin Liveaboard
Dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Tubbataha Reef and experience the ultimate underwater adventure in one of the world's most pristine and biodiverse marine sanctuaries.
Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is a 97,030-hectare Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Palawan, the westernmost Philippine province. It is located 150km southeast of Puerto Princesa City, at the heart of the Coral Triangle, the global centre of marine biodiversity.
Tubbataha is composed of two huge coral atolls – the north atoll and the south atoll – and the Jessie Beazley Reef, a smaller coral structure about 20 kilometres north of the atolls.
The park contains roughly 10,000 hectares of coral reef, lying at the heart of the Coral Triangle – the global centre of marine biodiversity.

Day 2: Orientation Dive & Diving
The best likelihood to see amazing things is early in the morning. The goal each day is for divers to be in the water by 6:30AM. Best to experience late afternoon dives. Schedule plans for two morning dives and then two afternoon dives to end near sunset.
For the first day of diving, the favorite site is Malayan Wreck or Jessie Beazley. As always, dive sites are subject to surface conditions, weather, and currents.
Day 3: Diving
The North Atoll has 3 general areas.
The first being at the north end of the North Atoll starting from Terraces around to Shark Airport including Seafan Alley and Washing Machine.
The 2nd area is the south end of the North Atoll between Amos Rock and South Park.
The 3rd area is the southwest corner of the North Atoll from Malayan Wreck to Wall Street.
Day 4: Diving and Ranger Station
Usually begins with the South Atoll and we finish the day with a visit to the Ranger Station to enjoy the sunset and sand bar.
The South Atoll has 2 primary areas. The north end of the South Atoll includes 3 dive sites: Ko-ok, T-Wreck and Black Rock. The south end of the South Atoll has Southwest Wall, Staghorn Point, Triggerfish City, and Delsan Wreck.
Day 5: Diving and BBQ Party!
Diving continues at either the North or South Atoll depending on conditions. In the evening, dinner is served on the upper deck followed by entertainment, karaoke, and dancing.
Day 6: Diving!
Our last day of Tubbataha diving is usally at Jessie Beazley Reef. The diving at Jessie Beazley is either the west end or east end of the reef.
Be aware of your flight time so as to not dive within 24 hours of your schedule flight.
Day 7: Disembarkation
The Dolphin usually arrives in Puerto Princesa before 3AM to accomodate anyone who needs to catch an early flight. We provide transportation to the airport or hotel.
