    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cabilao, off the southwest coast of Bohol, delivers solid diving, especially if you’ve got some dives under your belt. Our pick for the island is definitely Lighthouse, a site that starts shallow and then drops off. Keep an eye out for those schools of barracuda, often hanging out in the blue, and yes, the occasional hammerhead might cruise by in the deeper sections early in the morning. Even if the big stuff is shy, the reef itself holds plenty of interest, with nudibranchs and frogfish tucked into the corals. We’d suggest this spot for divers comfortable with a bit of current and keen on spotting pelagics.
