    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Bahura offers a gentle introduction to Dumaguete’s diving, particularly good for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed multi-level profile. The sloping reef is primarily sand and rubble with scattered patches of coral, holding plenty of smaller critters like nudibranchs and flatworms if you take your time. You’ll also spot small reef fish, the occasional moray, and a few pipefish tucked into the sandy areas. It’s a good spot for a second dive or for practicing your macro photography.
