\nBetween Royal Garden and Sanctuary we find this steep slope decorated with big gorgonians, corals and ledges. Very famous because of the big school of jackfish (big eye trevally) forming an amazing tornado. If we are lucky we can find a few white tip sharks resting in the small caves. We will look out for shining big mouth mackerel, bluefin trevallies, turtles and barracudas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong>
\nDue to its great biodiversity, this is one of the most famous dives in Balicasag\u00a0 Island. It gets its name from the black corals, found at a depth of 35 -45 meters. We begin the dive in a shallow sandy area with plenty of coral formations and sea grass where green turtles can often be found eating, <\/span>full of macro life and reef fish. We descend following the slope, which goes down to 40 meters. This is where we can often see the famous large school of jackfish (big eye trevally) who swoop and surround us in a huge tornado. If we are lucky, we can also find a few white tip sharks resting in the small caves. <\/span>If there is a current, we will do a drift dive (this is most likely).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marine life:<\/strong>
\nWe can find lots of coral heads, turtles, jackfish, parrotfish, damselfish, anemonefish,\u00a0 barracuda, large grouper, triggerfish (be careful, between May and July they can be very aggressive), frogfish, etc.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=\u00bbtransparent\u00bb up=\u00bb32″ down=\u00bb0″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb16310″ img_size=\u00bbfull\u00bb qode_css_animation=\u00bb\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=\u00bb\u00bb row_type=\u00bbrow\u00bb use_row_as_full_screen_section=\u00bbno\u00bb type=\u00bbgrid\u00bb angled_section=\u00bbno\u00bb text_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb background_image_as_pattern=\u00bbwithout_pattern\u00bb background_color=\u00bb#1e1e1e\u00bb padding_top=\u00bb104″ padding_bottom=\u00bb65″][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_separator type=\u00bbtransparent\u00bb up=\u00bb32″ down=\u00bb0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong>
\nOver the shallow sandy bottom we can find plenty of coral formations, home to many reef fish.
