Coconut Point

Coconut Point is a favourite of ours in Bohol, and a site we head to when we want to just drift and watch the show. It’s got a reputation for currents, and for good reason, but that’s precisely what makes it so special. Drop in and you’re instantly enveloped in a cloud of fusiliers, sometimes so thick you can barely see your buddy. The feeling of being pushed along, gently, over the reef as it unfolds below you, is incredibly freeing. You’ll see big schools of sleek unicornfish, often mingling with black surgeonfish, all feeding in the flow. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, like the vibrant red-streaked blenny peeking from its hole, or a perfectly camouflaged coral hawkfish perched on a gorgonian. We usually look for the dark-fin chromis darting around the coral heads – they’re everywhere here. It’s a site that really suits divers who are comfortable with a bit of movement, happy to go with the flow and just observe. We love it for its sheer fish density and the exhilarating drift.
