About White Island Black Forrest
White Island Black Forrest is a boat-access reef slope off Camiguin with a standout black-coral garden and a profile that moves from a shallow top into a deeper volcanic slope. It is best treated as a proper scuba dive rather than a casual swim, with occasional current, strong structure, and a lot of small details to work through slowly. Expect clear tropical water, healthy coral growth, and marine life that rewards patient buoyancy and good trim.
