Pamilacan Island

This dive site is located on Pamilacan Island, a small island off the coast of Bohol in the Philippines. It’s a popular destination for divers due to its rich marine life and relatively calm waters. Historically, the area was used as a fishing ground, but conservation efforts have led to an increase in the diversity of aquatic species. The island itself is known for its beautiful beaches and offers opportunities for snorkeling above the reef. Visibility can vary depending on conditions, but typically ranges from 10 to 20 meters. The dive sites around Pamilacan Island offer a diverse range of experiences, with shallow reefs teeming with colorful fish, coral formations, and occasionally larger marine animals. Expect to see schools of jacks, barracuda, snappers, groupers, rabbitfish, and triggerfish. Larger pelagic species like whale sharks have been sighted in the area although encounters are not guaranteed. The island is a protected marine sanctuary, so it’s important for divers to practice responsible diving etiquette. This location provides opportunities for both beginners and experienced divers.
