TUBBATAHA the Philippines Greatest Wild Life Sanctuary 

Tubbataha exceeded all our expedations from my last trip! Hammer heads & Nurse sharks which I've never seen before WOW.. We are now sharing our expeditions live across Philippines on facebook if you want to follow: facebook.com/seaexplorersliveaboards

Been diving for 50 years this month, all over the world...UK, Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Eastern & Western Pacific and asked an American on a liveaboard in Cocos Island 10 years ago "Where's the best place you've dived?" When he mentioned Tubbataha reefs in the Philippines, I was puzzled. Now I've dived many locations in the Caribbean starting in 1974, the Red Sea numerous times starting in 1977, Cuba in 1981 & the Maldives & the Seychelles in the early to mid 1980's, as well as Palau, Raja Ampat & other locations in the Philippines & Indonesia...but Tubbataha? Never heard of it! So finally got round to checking it out in May 2017. SPECTACULAR!!! Raja Ampat may have more species of reef fish & corals but sometimes doesn't have the best viz due to so much plankton & still suffers from a dearth of sharks due to the shark culling for the asian market of shark fin soup decades ago, which the area is only slowly recovering from now its better protected. But for all round spectacular viz, beautiful corals, sharks, with a few mantas & whale sharks thrown in, Tubbataha tops everything. Shame it's only safe to dive that area in the Sulu Sea for a few months from roughly February through June as the reefs are so far out to sea that if it's in the typhoon season one couldn't reach port & relative safety in time. I even got investigated by a juvenile 14 foot whale shark which I snorkelled over to it alone in between dives. It made one pass at me a metre away, then another, bumping me in the chest while I pushed myself off its back, laughing like a drain, all captured on my GoPro. Magic!!!

Indeed, The Philippines is the center of the center of Marine biodiversity on the Planet, Amazing country!

Truly The Pearl of the Orient Seas ❤ Amazing My Philippines!🇵🇭

"Even though we're surrounded by the sea, there are lots to see"- Finn Absolutely Amazing Adventure!!!❤AAA

Protect Tubbataha reef at all cost

Do yourself a favor and watch this in 4K in a proper screen or monitor. This is beyond amazing.

years ago, this is what drew me to your channel. I live in New Hampshire and the water is a murky jade green color. Hard to see the wildlife here. But your videos! so many species, so much color, so crazy how every dive you see something different. I cant wait to move to the philippines.

With the on-going dispute in WPS with China your sea adventure is very MOVING. Salute to you Finn. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.

Your underwater video is worthy of National Geo recognition...kudos!!!

Finn, you are the Cousteau of your generation. Every Kababayan should see this to know what the fight in the WPS is about

The kind of beauty that takes your breath away. When experiencing this in real life you become an advocate for nature preservation. Priceless. Amazing. Just wow!

Finn, watching here from Saudi Arabia. Thank you for supporting and showing the world the magnificent natural beauty of our local underwater wildlife. As a Filipino, I hope that one day I see all of my kababayan unite to protect these sea creatures and coral reefs. Finn, thank you for continuously showing care for the Philippines.

I am in awe of our natural resources there. My patriotic fervor has gone sky high seeing the beauty of the Philippine islands and the urgent need to protect it. Mabuhay ang mga Rangers natin. Mabuhay ka Finn and your crew. Salamat salamat. ❤🇵🇭🙏

Mind blown, amazing,! Nat geo material. Great background music, you guys rock! Beautiful Philippines, the real avatar both land and sea!

Protecting Tubataha Reef and defending the West Philippine Sea is a deeply personal commitment to the future of our children and grandchildren. It's about preserving the breathtaking beauty and rich biodiversity of these marine treasures so that they can experience the wonder and awe that we have been privileged to witness. Our actions today are not just about conservation; they are about ensuring that our loved ones inherit a world where they can explore vibrant coral reefs, swim alongside diverse marine life, and connect with nature in its purest form. This endeavor is a testament to our love for our families and our desire to leave behind a legacy of environmental responsibility and profound respect for the natural world.

Thank Finn and the team for showing us the hidden wealth or our Tubataha Reefs 🙏🙏💪💪🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Wow finn you are promoting tubbataha reef. You are a filipino by heart. Beautiful house in dauin. Thank you. We cant afford to go to different places here in th philippines but we watched all your videos from the beginning especially with the fighter boys. So sad that bret maverrick had been harrassed or maybe a misunderstanding with other guys. Hope he will come back and be with your sea trips. Thanks

It always make me think if what we see in the movie “finding nemo” is real. But seeing an actual footage again from Finn’s blog, makes me convinced that it’s REAL! ❤❤❤ We are so blessed that we have a Tubbataha Reef that is home to these wonderful marine species. Thanks so much, Finn!
