Diving Guide to the Philippines 2015

Anda


Amun Ini beach

T


he Anda area is a relative
newcomer to the diving scene
but is being developed with tourism
and conservation in mind. Getting
to Anda from Taglibaran is a
pleasant oceanside ride along the
southern coast where fruit stands
line the road and rice paddies
flourish. Or a trip through the
Chocolate Hills can also be made
to get a glimpse of this Bohol
famous natural attraction.


Dive resorts and retreats are
situated along the coast where
limestone cliffs, separated by sandy
beaches and some scattered rock
islands, cater to divers in a quiet
and natural surrounding.
Boutique resorts like Amun Ini are
dedicated dive resorts that
specialize in finding macro
creatures and the guides even know
the names of these odd and unusual
marine critters by their Latin names.
Thus, they are popular with all
levels of diver and also with
photographers and videographers.
For miles along the shore, shallow
reef flats are covered in beautiful
corals that extend to dropoffs that
end in sandy slopes that extend into
the depths. The upper reef ranges
from scattered coral heads with soft
and hard corals and lots of sandy
patches to some sites that have
every inch covered in thick coral
