Bohol/Panglao is surrounded by more than 15 local dive sites accessible from the shore or quick boat ride and then another dozen from nearby islands that can be done via day trips such as the Pamilican Day Trip or Balicasag Day Trip.
The dive sites are suitable for all levels from beginner Try Scuba Divers to the most Advanced Recreational and Tech Divers. You’ll see everything from schools of fish, small nudi branch’s, nemo clown fish, sting rays and the biggest turtles you can picture!
Panglao Diving Balicasag/PamilicanAlso called Hole in the Wall, a fun chimney swim-through that drops through the reef into the blue, framed by colourful soft corals. Calm and shallow up top, so it suits beginners while the swim-through adds a little adventure.
The house reef right off Alona Beach and the perfect warm-up or training dive. Easy and shallow, with clownfish, lionfish, nudibranchs and the occasional sea snake cruising the coral.
The reef off Bohol Beach Club, dotted with big coral bommies and sea fans. A relaxed site loaded with macro: tiny nudibranchs, shrimp and pipefish, with turtles passing through.
A pretty coral wall dropping along the Panglao coast, easy to dive and full of life. Reef fish, nudibranchs and turtles work the slope, with lovely light for photography.
Famous for its giant sardine ball, a shimmering wall of fish that swirls in the shallows beside the drop-off. The wall below is draped in soft coral, and freedivers and scuba divers share this one. A true Panglao highlight.
The most famous site and a diver favourite. Sloping reefs, soft corals and huge schools of jackfish swirling around like a living silver vortex. It can pick up a fun current, making a great drift when the tide runs.
A coral wall buzzing with anthias, nudibranchs and green turtles that seem totally unbothered by your camera. Great for both macro and wide-angle photography.
Aptly named. Steep walls, colourful sponges and the occasional barracuda cruising by like a boss, with turtles resting on the ledges.
A vertical drop-off where the light filters through like stained glass. Perfect for a relaxed drift and a bit of underwater zen, with reef fish darting in and out of the coral.
A lovely sloping reef on Pamilacan with healthy hard corals, big schools of reef fish and great visibility. Calm and scenic, the kind of dive you never want to end.
Named after the old watchtower on the island, a mix of coral gardens and small walls packed with colourful life. Gentle and pretty, ideal for relaxed dives and photography.
Calm, scenic and full of macro if you look closely. A relaxing reef dive on the quiet side of the island, perfect for slow photography and spotting critters.
No sites match that filter.
