Turtle Rock, in the Visayas, lives up to its name. It’s a rocky site where we often find green sea turtles resting or grazing, especially in the shallows. The reef around the main rock offers good shelter, making it a comfortable dive for newer divers looking for a reliable turtle encounter. Visibility is usually decent here, a solid 15 meters most days.
