Located near Larena, Kiwi Dive Resort has a great reef just a short boat ride away.

You can see the edge of Cebu in the right side of this frame.

Daniel Simon looks like he's got his feet propped up in a sea-going easy chair.

A back entry is pretty common here, especially with a small boat like this one.

With all that heavy dive gear, you usually hit the water like a ton of bricks. Photo by Daniel Bowman Simon.

Damselfish crowded this anemone that had two tomato clown fish living inside it.

Tomato clowns are more aggressive than their "nemo" brethren, and sometimes dole out sharp warning nips to divers who get too close.

Whip corals float tendril-like up from the sea floor.

We found this large fish trap that had a few unfortunate fellows inside.

Daniel might have been thinking about the best way to set them free.

The spines on this lion fish warn divers to stay away.

These clown fish shared their anemone with some transparent anemone shrimp. See if you can spot one of them just above the right hand clown fish.

A closer view and you can see them much better.

Here you can see just how transparent they really are.

The clown fish didn't seem to mind sharing their anemone with the shrimp.

Anemone really are pretty tough to spot.

The Kiwi reef had healthy schools of fish swimming near the deeper dropoff section.

Tomato clowns like this one sometimes stir up clouds of sea dust when they aggressively protect their anemones.

Large batfish like this one can look pretty strange swimming by.

This species of nudibranch is pretty common in the Philippines.

These clown fish seemed to be cowering beneath the shadow of the much larger fish.
