    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cambalot Reef is a solid Visayan dive, the kind of site you visit for a relaxed afternoon. You’ll find a busy coral slope, though nothing too dramatic. We’ve spotted healthy populations of Ring-tailed cardinalfish and several varieties of trevally, like the Longnose and White-spot, cruising the edges. Keep an eye out for the Cigar wrasse darting between the coral heads. It’s a good choice for newer divers or anyone looking for an easy couple of dives without strong currents, perfect for shaking off some rust.
