    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Well House Reef sits just off the Dumaguete coast, a shallow coral slope that eases down to about 18 meters. You’ll find healthy hard corals here, plenty of damselfish, clownfish, and the occasional turtle drifting by. It’s a nice, easy dive, perfect for newer divers getting comfortable or for a relaxed second dive. We often spot pipefish hiding amongst the branches if you take your time.
