Kevin's Reef

Kevin's Reef sits off Negros Occidental, on the western side of the Philippine island of Negros, in waters facing the Sulu Sea and Guimaras Strait area. Dive sites along this stretch of coast are typically reached by short boat rides from nearby coastal towns and are shaped by the volcanic geology of Negros. It's a beginner dive reaching a maximum depth of around 22 metres, and the reef here suits divers looking for smaller subjects rather than big animal action. Divers have reported frogfish, octopus, pipefish, scorpionfish, and seahorses tucked among the reef, making it a spot worth a slow, careful look.
