Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - Santa Maria offers some of Bohol's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Santa Maria in Bohol offers a mellow drift along a sloping reef. We often spot schools of jacks hanging out in the blue, and garden eels are usually swaying on the sand flats. It's a good choice for newer divers looking for an easy current, or for anyone who enjoys a relaxed dive with consistent reef fish activity.
