All Star Liveaboards has always placed a focus on marine conservation. We have been drilling moorings since the early 1990's placing them on over 300 dive sites throughout the Bahamas. These moorings keep ourselves and other dive operators from needing to drop anchor on dive sites resulting in the destruction of coral reefs. Big thanks to the Aqua Cat crew for installing these new moorings and helping our coral reefs!

Christine & Scott Winans, former crew members on All Star Liveaboards' Cat Ppalu, discovered the first lionfish in the Bahamas & Caribbean back in 2005. Since then we have operated numerous research trips aboard the Cat Ppalu geared to lionfish and diadema sea urchin.

All Star Liveaboards offers trips to the world renowned reefs of Tubbataha. Tubbataha was established as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 and is located in the middle of the Sulu Sea over 80 miles offshore from Palawan. Tubbataha is comprised of three atolls (North Atoll, South Atoll and Jessie Beazley) and is home to over 350 coral species, 600 species of fish and 100 bird species. These atolls are known for clear water and big creature diving! Whales Sharks, Hammerheads, Tiger Sharks and Manta Rays can all be found in the waters surrounding these three Atolls.

Video courtesy of Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park & AOF Foundation All Star Philippines can be found diving the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tubbataha National Park, from March through June. At the center of the Coral Triangle between the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, lies Tubbataha (pronounced too-bah-ta-hah). This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the Tubbataha National Marine Park and is comprised of just 3 coral atolls that sit 100 miles offshore. To say the diving here is something that has to be seen to be believed is an understatement. Surrounded by deep cerulean blue seas, the atolls of Tubbataha break the surface of the sea by only a few inches. And it’s what surrounds that atoll that will amaze.
