Seaventure House Reef - Mabul & Kapalai
Black Rock 1 in Bohol gives you a rocky reef, an interesting change from some of the coral heavy sites nearby. The topography creates plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. We’ve seen everything from moray eels peeking out to colourful nudibranchs on the rock faces here. It's a good spot for divers looking for something a bit different, particularly macro enthusiasts.
