Underwater wonder: Tubbataha Reef, Sulu -photos
Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park is a wonder to behold. Located in the southern province of Sulu, Tubbataha is a 10-hectare preserved site that is home to thousands of marine life and one of the most beautiful corals in the world.
Cris de Leon – Hinlo, scuba diving enthusiasts who frequents Tubbataha, allowed us a glimpse of this national treasure.
The diversity of this place is just stunning.

96,000 hectares of wonder. How small man must feel in this jungle.
