Event Details

The Tubbataha Reefs lie 93 miles from the nearest land in the Philippine’s Sulu Sea and are at the epicenter of global marine biodiversity in the region known as the Coral Triangle. Journey to these hard to reach atolls with Eco-Photo Explorers and dive the spectacular reefs of this Marine Protected Area. Explore lush coral reefs teeming with life, and descend into the depths along sharp drop-offs to encounter schooling Barracuda and Trevally, massive Marbled Rays and the giants of the sea, the Whale Shark. Learn about the successful management program that has been established to keep these reefs healthy and protected. Tubbataha is, in many ways, a surviving example of what healthy coral reefs should look like in the world’s oceans. Join Christopher Weaver and Michael Salvarezza, who are both longtime scuba divers and photographers from Long Island, for this dazzling multi-media presentation.
