The diving season has begun at the tubbataha reef and this won't be unduly affected by salvage operations to remove the grounded US Navy minesweeper, the USS Guardian, from the one of the best diving sites in the world, the Philippines Coast Guard said yesterday. PCG Palawan District Commander Cammodre Enrico Efren Evangelista said the diving season will be last until July. Evangelista said diving enthusiast can still enjoy diving in other parts of the coral reef that have not been as the US Navy warship USS Guardian is being dismantled and removed from the area.
