Dive-site story
Situated along the eastern coast of Bohol near Anda, Pogaling features a gently sloping reef that transitions into steeper coral drop-offs and sand patches. The reef provides shelter for diverse macro fauna while maintaining healthy hard and soft coral cover along the upper shelf. Twilight dives here are particularly well-regarded for observing courting mandarinfish in the shallow branching corals.
