    Rock Point East has always been one of our favourite spots in Bohol, a dive that consistently delivers a good time. It’s got this gradual slope, starting shallow and just easing you down, perfect for a long, relaxed drift. We’ve spent entire dives here, not really going anywhere fast, just letting the current guide us along the reef edge. What we really love about Rock Point East is the sheer variety that pops up from the cracks and crevices. You’re almost guaranteed to spot a Solor Jawfish peeking out, or a feisty Twinspot Hawkfish perched on a coral head. We often find ourselves just hovering, watching the comical Banded Toby puff itself up, or trying to spot the elusive Leopard Blenny darting between the rocks. Keep an eye out for the Enigmatic Moray, sometimes just its head poking out, blending perfectly with the reef. It’s a fantastic site for macro enthusiasts, but also just a beautiful, easy dive for anyone who wants to soak in the abundant reef life without battling strong currents.
