Balicasag Black Forest

Why black forest? It is so because of the abundant black corals (Antiphates sp.), which grows from
25-40 meters.

Swimming through the branches of these corals is quite an enjoyable experience. The drop off falls down slowly after 12 meters from the surface until 40 meters (sandy bottom). There are also many soft and hard corals as well as special butterfly fishes (Heniochus acuminatus).
