With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - Mathilda Bay offers some of Bohol's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Mathilda Bay is a relatively shallow reef dive in Bohol, maxing out at 17 meters. It's an easy drift over healthy corals, good for new divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. We’ve seen quite a few anemonefish and juvenile reef species here, often hiding amongst the bommies. It's a gentle introduction to Bohol's underwater scenery.
