Exotic Dive Resort house reef is Malapascua's easy resort reef.
Exotic Dive Resort house reef is Malapascua's easy resort reef.
Exotic Dive Resort house reef is a shallow shore reef off Malapascua, built as an easy warm-up dive with a gentle slope, scattered coral, seagrass, and artificial structure. It works well as a check-out or photography dive and is worth a second look after dark, when the same reef turns up more macro life. The profile is simple enough for relaxed coaching, while still giving divers a clear shape to work around and plenty of room for buoyancy practice.
