Or two awesome wreck dives
It is still dive-able... but contact local authorities there if they are allowing divers right now.. because of the latest news that theres another fishing vessel that got stuck and beached on the reef. Sorry to say but this is kinda sad. :-(

Pretty amazing. The ONE place that's really protected now...no dynamite, no fishing of any kind. They're serious. I was there last May on a private boat and the "Guard" there boarded our boat with machine guns. SO much fish. It was better than when I dived there in 1995.
And now, three ships have crashed into it? Are you fricken' kidding me? This has to be some sickos idea of a joke. It's the Sulu Sea. We didn't run aground in the two trips I went there. One on a banka. And Navy ships with GPS that could put a cruise missle in your bathtub hit it? Unreal.

tubbataha is not a place to do dive course. get certified and get lots of dive experience before going there

Tubataha Reef is still dive able! The reef is not small. For those in the US, it is about I/4'th to 1/3'rd the size of the State of Rhode Island! Rhode Island 1,214 square miles; Tubataha 374 or 502 square miles, (different world agencies measures!). It is NOT a couple of rocks in the water if that is what you're used to!
