Staghorn Point

Tubbataha Reef, Palawan

Staghorn Point is a serene and visually striking dive defined, as the name suggests, by vast expanses of staghorn coral. The dense fields form a complex, intricate structure that shelters and breeds a multitude of reef fish, including anthias, chromis, and damselfish, for a lively and dynamic scene. As the reef extends seaward it transitions into a steep wall dressed in coral formations, sponges, and sea fans. Green turtles are often seen feeding on soft corals and resting on the reef, while whitetip reef sharks cruise along the deeper wall sections. Liveaboard access only; Advanced Open Water certification required.
