SCUBA DIVING MAGIC RESORTS

Moalboal has a vast array of marine life, from the very tiny Denise Pygmy Seahorse, to the sexy and elegant Thresher Shark that is often spotted hunting the huge school of Sardines that reside at Panagsama Wall.

The Sardine bait ball is a spectacle all by itself, with well over a million sardines making up the school. Watching them shift and change shapes as the predators swoop in to catch a tasty mouth full is just mesmerizing.

Pescador Island is just a 10 minute boat ride away. This little uninhabited islet rises up out of the Tañon Strait, creating a perfect place for marine life to flourish. Its huge walls drop down to 60 plus meters, with colorful soft corals and Gorgonian Sea Fans clinging to the rocky face, and all the tropical fish you can think of. On the West side of the islet, you have ‘The Cathedral’ a huge cavern that has numerous large entry and exit points, looking back out of the cavern it has the eerie appearance of a skull.

Anda offers 17km/10 miles of diving pleasure with 28 dive sites plus a sandbank, Lamanok Island and several diving day trips, that gives you the opportunity to see the outstanding diversity of marine life and the vibrant colors of the corals. It’s very easy to become entranced and spend all day long diving. 

The incredible biodiversity puts Anda slowly on the map as a must-visit destination for diving enthusiasts. The options include muck diving, walls covered with healthy corals, sandy slopes, small caves, mangroves and sandy bottoms full of life. The marine life varies from XXS to XXL, Pygmy seahorses, Nudibranchs, schools of fish, a passing whale shark and even an occasional manta. The Bargibanti Pygmy Seahorse is the star of the waters in Anda, Bohol and can be found at several dive sites. With a max. length of only 1 inch, you’ll definitely need your macro lens for a perfect shot! 

MITHI RESORT AND SPA

Mithi Resort and Spa is a serene, secluded paradise with a private beach, beautiful views, and dedicated spa services. The resort offers spa services adventures such as cave exploration and Chocolate Hills.
