I
ts location in the northern corner
of the Coral Triangle puts Bohol in
one of the highest marine
biodiversity hot spots in the world.
In layman’s terms, a diver’s
paradise.
- Panorama
Icons:
Location: SW Anda Peninsula
Depth: 20-100ft (6-30m)
This Bohol dive site is
especially appealing for
advanced divers but can be
enjoyed by all. Located along a
wall at western Anda’s
peninsula, Panorama is specially
protected and has only been
open for diving since 2001. It is
named because of its steep wall
that stretches as wide as 100 ft.
(30m). With the wall to a diver’s
back, it gives a dramatic and
panoramic view of the open water.
In the open water, look for
barracuda and the odd reef
shark.The wall has nice coral
growth and has lots of marine life
including leopard sea anemones.
80) Wonder Wall
Icons:
Location: South Dauin
Depth: 15-90ft (5-27m)
The main attraction of Wonder
Wall is a small wreck and a
freshwater source at 90 ft. (27m) at
the bottom of steep wall. The site
has some natural grottoes deep
along the wall. While the urge is to
go down and see the small
shipwreck, a shallower dive
exploring the wall makes for a
much more interesting dive.
Also, there is a sandy valley with
coral heads and even fluorescent
mushroom corals. Look for ornate
ghost pipefish in the crinoids.
