About Jicdup Black Forrest

Black Forest is an offshore Balicasag reef reached by boat from Panglao, where a sloping black-coral wall and coral garden mix with jacks, barracudas, turtles, and other pelagics. It is a true ocean site with drift-style movement, so the best plan is an early guided boat dive, steady buoyancy, and attention to the deeper black-coral zone.
