Tubbataha trip report

[dingho]

for logical thinking, if I join a liveaboard, I prefer a company or who ever that company have the most ships that can substitute. liveaboard is for hard to reach dive site, such Tubbataha in the middle of Sulu sea. it happen way back 1984 on the wooden SEAQUEST when it hid Apo reef island, it break apart, stranded for 5 days, only eating Turtle eggs. otherwise, I would not join a liveaboard that have only one or 2 ships.

Expedition fleet has 5 boats. The can certainly substitute better than anyone else. On the other hand, others might have qualified staff.

Did they put the Explorer boat back in service that plowed through Apo Reef a few years ago?

Twice! (they also plowed into Tubbataha)

Seems like they have a "little problem" with that tricky thing called navigation.
