Wild Scuba Housereef

Wild Scuba Housereef sits on the coast of Negros Oriental, in the Philippines, part of the Dumaguete and Dauin coastline known for its house reef diving culture and easy shore access. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 35 metres, giving divers a range of shallower and deeper options without needing a boat, and it is generally rated an intermediate dive. It has a reputation as a muck and macro site, with divers reporting finds such as painted frogfish, ornate ghostpipefish, warty anglerfish, and banded pipefish along the sand and rubble. Smaller critters including Anna's chromodoris, squat anemone shrimp, and banded coral shrimp have also been spotted, alongside white-eyed morays, blacksaddle tobies, and common lionfish patrolling the reef.
