Just a note to say that the area mentioned is now a marine protected area and is totally closed for all fishing and diving for at least 2 years.

It is being protected by the coastguard, baranguay officials and the PNP on the orders of Governor Corazon Malanyaon, Davao Oriental

One of the marine biologists responsible for the development of Tubbataha is working with the Governor as a consultant to protect and fully restore the area.

So, sorry but no diving there for a while.
