Juan Antonio G. Menchaca (Philippines):
We arrived aboard the Liveaboard Diveboat Nautica.Great diversity of marine life. Turtles, we saw Pilot whales,lemon sharks and thresher sharks, Manta rays huge shoals of unicorn surgeon fish. Great quantity of sea birds with blue spotted eggs. There is the remains of a ship that had ran aground. Great sunsets. We stayed for a week. Spectacular diving. Date posted: May 2006 Capt. Ingvar T. Swenson (Sweden):
The only experience I have had with Tubbataha Reef is when
I grounded there with a 6000.tons cargo ship in 1973.
The reef was very hard and tore a large hole in my ship.
We had to unload some of the cargo out there and then
proceeded to Iloilo for repairs,
