Jessie Beazley Reef

Jessie Beazley Reef is an isolated reef within Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, lying northwest of the park's North and South Atolls in the Sulu Sea, southeast of Puerto Princesa, Palawan. It was added to the park when the protected area was expanded, and is now part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site that covers 96,828 hectares of the Sulu Sea.

The reef features clear blue water, steep walls, and hard-coral formations. Strong currents funnel nutrients across the site, which acts as a feeding and cleaning area for many marine animals; those same currents can also create demanding conditions, so divers should stay close to their guide and be ready to adjust the dive plan at short notice.

Divers at Jessie Beazley Reef may encounter reef sharks, turtles, rays, tuna, barracuda, and large schools of fish, with occasional sightings of larger shark species. The park as a whole supports grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, manta rays, hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, and green and hawksbill turtles, among the species recorded across Tubbataha.
