For the first time, Filipino divers were able to explore Benham Rise, the newest part of the Philippine archipelago. Located 50 meters under the sea off the coast of Aurora Province, the land mass is believed to be rich in minerals and natural gas. The Philippines successfully claimed ownership of the underwater plateau in 2012 before the United Nations. A team of scientists and researchers visited the shallowest portion of the plateau recently and found clear waters and plenty of corals.
