Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - Kan Uran offers some of Bohol's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Kan Uran feels like a little secret, even in Bohol, and that’s part of its charm. We love it for the sheer density of reef fish, a constant flutter of motion that makes you feel utterly immersed. Descend into what feels like a living, breathing aquarium, where schools of blue-green chromis part and reform around you like a shimmering curtain. Our favourite moments here are often spent just hovering, watching the smaller dramas unfold: a Cleaner Mimic darting in to service a hesitant rockcod, or a vibrant diagonal-lined wrasse zipping between coral heads. Keep an eye out for the stealthy dwarf scorpionfish, perfectly camouflaged, and the playful clown anemonefish tending their homes. The site is gentle enough for those building confidence, but still offers enough nooks and crannies to explore for experienced divers. It's a joyful, uncomplicated dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who just wants to soak in the beauty of a healthy, busy reef.
