Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - Danajon Bank offers some of Bohol's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Danajon Bank feels less like a single dive site and more like an entire submerged province. This huge double barrier reef system in Bohol is a sprawling, productive place, less about dramatic drop-offs and more about the sheer scale of the coral gardens. We’ve seen respectable populations of crescent grunters here, along with some surprisingly camouflaged common hairy crabs if you take the time to really look. It’s a site for those who appreciate the subtle rhythms of a healthy, extensive reef, rather than chasing pelagic thrills. Best explored at a leisurely pace, allowing the vastness of the system to sink in.
