    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    For a straightforward shore dive, the Abaca House Reef is a solid pick, especially if you’re staying nearby. Maxing out at a gentle 14 meters, it's pretty forgiving for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon dip. We’ve had some pleasant encounters here with resident clownfish defending their anemones, and the occasional lionfish drifting past. It's not going to blow your mind, but for an easy, accessible dive with a good chance of spotting some classic reef dwellers, it does the trick.
