Reef Rendezvous – Siquijor, Philippines
Just off the coast of Siquijor, a mesmerizing marine convergence unfolds. This vibrant reef slope is alive with motion as clouds of damselfish and anthias swirl above golden staghorn coral (Acropora), catching the sunlight like sparks in water.
Species & Scene Notes:
•Species: Chromis viridis (Blue-green chromis), Pomacentrus spp. (damselfish), and Pseudanthias spp.
• Coral: Dominated by branching Acropora,this is a well-established shallow reef.
• Depth: 5–12 meters, with excellent visibility and natural light.
Why This Moment Matters:
• Siquijor’s reefs are often overshadowed by bigger names in Philippine diving — but this clip is proof that its biodiversity is world-class.
• The schooling behavior and coral coverage show off a healthy, balanced ecosystem.
• It’s a moment of reef harmony: a “rendezvous” of species, current, sunlight, and coral.
