Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - Dako Bato offers some of Bohol's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Dako Bato offers a straightforward dive to 20m off the coast of Bohol. It's an intermediate site, mostly a gentle slope with scatterings of coral. We've seen a fair mix of reef fish here, along with the occasional nudibranch if you look carefully. It's a decent spot for a relaxed second dive, but don't expect big pelagics.
