Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - South point offers some of Bohol's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
South Point in Bohol usually delivers a solid drift dive along its sloped reef. Expect to see plenty of reef fish, fusiliers often schooling thick here, and sometimes a passing pelagic out in the blue. It’s a good option for divers comfortable with current looking for a relaxed, easygoing dive. We often combine it with other nearby sites for a full day out.
