DA-West
Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - DA-West offers some of Bohol's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
DA-West, off Bohol, is a decent drift dive. We've often found small reef sharks cruising the deeper sections, and the wall itself has some nice overhangs. It's a relaxed dive, good for knocking the rust off before hitting the more challenging spots, or for divers who prefer a more sedate pace. You'll likely see the usual reef fish and healthy hard corals.
