About The Trip

The name “Tubbataha” comes from the Samal language meaning “long reef exposed at low tide”. With the trips we offer, we will take you around the different atolls in this marine protected sanctuary. In the middle of the Sulu Sea you will find a piece of paradise with the most beautiful coral formations and high density of marine species. Its location is at the center of the Coral Triangle- which covers Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. During the trip, you will get the chance to dive in the world famous North and South Atolls. The Tubbataha Natural Reef park is home to pelagics, such as whales, dolphins, shark, manta rays, and turtles to name a few. Are you ready to experience diving paradise? There’s no better way to dive in Tubbataha than to join the best liveaboard boats we offer.

We offer 6- and 7-day regular trips, as well as 8-day transition trips*:

The boat will depart from Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines between 5-6pm. Guests can board the PY Atlantis Azores by 5PM on Saturday and disembark the following Saturday at 8AM. Guests of the M/Y Stella Maris can choose from weekly schedules during the Tubbataha dive season. It travels from the port overnight both on the day of departure and return. With this schedule, the dives will begin early morning on the second day of the trip and will end with an afternoon/night dive before the last day of the trip. Upon return to Puerto Princesa (the boat usually docks early morning of the last day), please consider at least 24- hour no-flying time. When selecting your return flight, it’s better to pick a late afternoon flight or an evening flight on the last day of your trip.
