Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - Convention Reef offers some of Bohol's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Convention Reef in Bohol offers a decent dive, especially if you’re looking for something a bit quieter. We usually drop onto a gentle slope, finding good patches of seagrass where we've spotted cowries if you keep your eyes peeled. There’s a fair amount of Staghorn coral here, providing shelter for smaller reef fish. It’s not the most dramatic reef in Bohol, but for a relaxed dive with a good chance of finding some interesting macro, it’s a solid choice.
