Anda Scuba Diving

Bohol, Philippines

The team at Anda Scuba Diving feels like a genuine find. We love their approach, especially for divers who prefer a bit of peace and quiet over the usual Bohol crowds. This is your spot if you’re looking for focused SSI training, from an Open Water course right up to Dive Master, all delivered with a personal touch. They specialise in small group exploration dives too, which means more space on the boat and longer, unhurried dives on Anda’s quieter reefs. What we really appreciate is how they’ve dialled in the experience. Instead of packing boats, you get genuine attention, whether you’re taking your first breath underwater with a Baptême de plongée or honing your rescue skills. The reefs around Anda often surprise us with their vibrancy; think large table corals stretching out, barracuda circling off the walls, and the occasional turtle gliding past. We’ve had some cracking encounters here, like spotting pygmy seahorses tucked into gorgonians, or watching a grumpy frogfish shift position on a sponge. Our favourite tip? Ask them about an early morning dive at Lumayag. We’ve found the light there, just as the sun hits the reef, absolutely transforms the colours. You can expect easy entries and usually mild currents, making it a relaxed dive, perfect for soaking in the scenery.
