About this site

Tuble Marine Sanctuary is a protected reef dive site located near Moalboal, accessed by boat, and is known for its underwater walls, caves, and abundant sea fans and soft corals.

The reef reaches a maximum depth of 15 metres, with variable depth across the site. The terrain features dramatic walls, cave formations, and slopes draped in soft corals and sea fans, making careful buoyancy control important to protect the delicate marine life.

The sanctuary holds a wide variety of reef life, including coral groupers, purple anthias, peach-coloured damselfish, unicorn surgeonfish, sweetlips, snapper, sergeantmajors, parrotfish, bipolar parrotfish, juvenile blue ribbon eels, coral whip shrimps, Chelidonura varians, octopus, squid, and Hawksbill turtles. Pipefish, nudibranchs, lionfish, and frogfish are also sighted here, along with green sea turtles on occasion.
