Our Busuanga / Tubbataha itinerary

This 12 night itinerary will combine adventure, exclusive diving and the discovery of a totally preserved environment. Our voyage Busuanga - Tubbataha is the only local itinerary available where during the entire trip you will not change groups and be cared for by the same Team Abyss guide. This voyage is destined for advanced divers searching for sites within the Philippines rarely visited.

For those divers who do not wish to discover the wrecks of Busuanga, we offer a variation to this voyage by combining a mini safari to Apo Island and Siquijor in the Visayas, followed by the cruise to Tubbataha Reef and retaining a total duration of 12 nights. Only 2 expeditions of this alternative will be held in 2009. For more information, please link directly to the page Dates & Prices.
