Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, mandarin fish and pufferfish - White House / Mermaid Statue offers some of Bohol's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
We’d put White House / Mermaid Statue firmly in the “chill dive” category. Dropping to 22m, it’s a straightforward profile, perfect for newer divers or anyone looking for an easy second or third dive of the day. The main draw is definitely the mermaid statue itself, a decent photo op, but don’t miss the surrounding reef life. You'll often find a variety of small reef fish darting around the corals. It's a nice, relaxed spot in Bohol when you’re not chasing big pelagics.
