Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - Pescador Island offers some of Bohol's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Pescador Island, off Moalboal, delivers a classic Philippine wall dive. We've often seen sardines schooling in huge bait balls here, a swirling spectacle that can last your whole dive. Occasional reef sharks cruise the deeper sections. It’s a site that rewards multiple visits, especially for those who appreciate pelagics and dramatic topography.
