Dive-site story
Selinog Island is an isolated coral cay off the coast of Dapitan in the Bohol Sea. Declared a protected marine sanctuary, its encircling reef features healthy hard coral fields transitioning into steep drop-offs and rubble patches. Stronger open-water currents often sweep the outer reef edges, attracting schooling pelagics and resident sea turtles.
