Pristine Bohol

Panglao Island a small coralline island located near the south western tip of Bohol. Its coral gardens welcome you near the surface which are great for snorkelling. Its best assets are its steep walls with caves, overhangs and crevices home to abundant fish and invertibrate life.

Balicasag Island is where you will find a 400 meter Marine Sanctuary of healthy corals with plenty of pelagic visitors characterized by vertical walls over deep waters with strong currents. A dive in December or January can offer treats of Hammerhead Sharks and sometimes Whale Sharks.

Cabilao Island is south west of Pangangan Island across the Bohol Strait. Has some of the best divesites in the Philippines and is particularly noted for Hammerhead Sharks in the deeper waters off its northwest point, an exciting dive for the more experienced.

HOW TO GET THERE

The closest airport is at Tagbilaran in Bohol and there are three (3) times a week flights which will take you an hour. It's another 1/2 hours by taxi, jeepney or tricycle to Panglao Island.

Bohol is readily accessible by sea. High speed ferries run between Cebu City and Tagbilaran from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. The trip takes 1.5 hrs. This makes getting to Bohol from other dive areas in the Visayans quite easy.
