Depends on the location!

Here in Moalboal we are lucky to have a rich marine biodiversity. On a regular dive either on the house reef or any of the other dive sites we visit regularly, you will easily encounter:

• Sardines. Duh!
• Turtles. Mostly green turtles and some hawksbill. All of them extremely social.
• Clown fish aka Nemo. Plenty, in all variations and colors.
• Tuna. 
• Yellowspotted trevally. 
• Pipe fish (plenty). Ghost and banded are also common.
• Octopus. Common reef octopus and occasionally the BRO (Blue Ring Octopus).
• Lion fish.
• Needle fish.
• Trumpet fish.
• Scorpion fish. Careful where you put your hand!
• Stone fish. Also with this one, careful!
• Batfish. Not shy and curious fellas.
• Boxfish (yes! that little cute yellow one with polka dots!)
• Frogfish.
• Banded sea krait.
• Spotted moray.
• Titan trigger fish. No worries, the ones here are not aggressive.
