Shallow Panglao house reef with a cliff-edge turtle point
Brothers house reef in Panglao is a shallow coral reef built around a cliff-like edge and an easy top section. It suits first-time divers and relaxed snorkel sessions because the shallow shelf gives a gentle start before the site drops away more sharply. Keep the edge in mind if wind or swell is up, since that part feels more exposed than the top of the reef. Turtles and small reef fish are the main draw, so it works best as a short house-reef outing rather than a big offshore objective.
