From the tiny and hidden to the biggest fish in the sea, the Philippines delivers an unrivaled variety of marine life, along with a remarkably diverse range of diving environments. Macro enthusiasts will find acres of the fecund bottom to search, marine parks harbor thriving reefs, offshore walls and pinnacles provide dramatic settings for drifts with schooling fish. Big animal encounters include turtles, sharks and mantas, plus consistent interactions with whale sharks, less-expected encounters with dugongs, and one of the world's only opportunities to interact with the thresher shark. Ashore, the warm and inviting culture of the Philippines creates a welcoming environment for visitors.
