It’s no surprise that scuba divers would want to experience Tubbataha firsthand. Recently nominated as one of the ‘New Seven Wonders of the Natural World’, this marine protected area is home to a staggering wealth of biodiversity.
Distance from the mainland is good for conservation—Tubbataha is reachable only by boat, a journey which takes 10 to 12 hours and is only attempted from mid-march to mid-june. This means the reef receives less pressure from fishermen than the coral reefs located closer to population centers.
By the 1980’s these traditional sailboats were disappearing to be replaced by motorized boats traveling from ever-increasing distances to grab a share Tubbataha’s fishing wealth.
Alarmed by the decline of Tubbataha’s spectacular coral reef, a small group of divers and environmentalists launched a vigorous campaign to save Tubbataha.
In 1988, the Provincial Government of Palawan endorsed the idea, and President Corazon Aquino declared Tubbataha a National Marine Park. In 1992, the site was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

I saw a TV documentary last night, that has to be the best diving footage I've ever seen! It's called 'Equator - Reef of Riches' on Discovery HD Theater. It focuses on the Reefs of Raja Ampat, said to be the richest reef system in the world. It is simply spectacular. BTW, I don't work for Discovery Channel, or have any interest in selling HD TVs. I just thought I'd pass this along to my fellow scuba divers, because it is a show that you don't want to miss.
