Dive-site story
Located off the northwest side of Pamilacan Island in Bohol, this protected marine reserve features an expansive coral plateau that gives way to a steep, current-swept slope. Hard coral formations dominate the shallows, transitioning into deep drop-offs populated by large sea fans and sponges. Frequent ocean currents nourish the reef, attracting pelagic fish and sea turtles that graze among the coral heads.
