SPORTIVO - Bohol

The Sportivo wreck, sitting upright in a modest 10 metres of water off Bohol, is a convenient little dive. This motor vessel went down in 2016, so it's still relatively young as wrecks go. We find it’s already attracting a decent array of juvenile fish and some soft coral growth. You can easily spend 40 minutes poking around its deck and superstructure, spotting sweetlips lurking in the shadows and small schooling fish flitting through open hatches. It's a relaxed site, perfect for a second dive or if you're looking for something calm and interesting after a deeper drift.
