Manta Drop in Bohol lives up to its name if you time it right. It’s a wall dive, plummeting deep, where we’ve often spotted mantas gliding along the thermocline. Strong currents can pick up here, making it one for experienced divers comfortable with drift diving. Beyond the mantas, expect to see a healthy coral wall with plenty of smaller reef fish darting about.
