Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - Mamsa point offers some of Bohol's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Mamsa Point is our kind of dive. It’s got that slightly wild, unpredictable feel that makes you genuinely excited to drop in. The wall drops away into the blue, and we’ve often found ourselves just hanging there, watching schools of fusiliers stream past so thick they almost block the sun. You’ll spot a few Poss’ Scorpionfish tucked into ledges, sometimes a Stonefish pretending to be a rock. Keep an eye out for the Twinspot and Spotted Hawkfish perched on corals, they’re always a good photo op. We love the way the light plays on the reef in the mid-morning, around 10 am, when the sun is high enough to penetrate but not directly overhead. The current can pick up here, sometimes it's just a gentle drift, other times you’re really moving, which is fantastic for bigger pelagics if you’re lucky. It's a proper wall dive, best suited for those comfortable with a bit of a ride and happy to spend time looking closely at the reef as it whizzes by.
