Description:
Almost always an insider tip today. Anda on the island of Bohol. The area around Anda is not only a natural paradise with its rice terraces, the highest waterfall on Bohol, fantastic landscapes and mountain ranges, but also the largest, most beautiful and varied diving area in Bohol, and still far away from mass tourism to this day. Diving like in a diving paradise: Anda on the island of Bohol. The large diving area around Anda extends to approx. 16 km and includes 29 dive sites. Mostly there are steep walls up to a depth of 25-30 m, which are gently sloping in some places. Usually no to weak currents, which makes diving very pleasant. With the exception of 2, 3 opportunities to dive from land, all dives are boat dives.

    Turtle Point
    The diving paradise for turtle lovers. Until about 10 years ago, the turtles still had to be protected on Turtle Beach and there was a breeding station. Later, through education, this no longer had to be done, as the locals stopped hunting turtles. A huge success, because the turtle population has increased dramatically. You can see Turtles on almost every dive, no matter which dive site around Anda, but the Turtles' favorite spot is at Turtle Point. Sightings of 20, 30, 40 or more turtles on one dive are not uncommon and that combined with the dream of colorful corals. Check out this video and count the turtles. The video is one and the same dive! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqYCfQTDMqs

    Neptune House
    The main goal of this wall dive is the cave at 33 meters. Mixed hard and soft corals lead you to the entrance of the cave. The entrance is approx. 5 x 3.5 m and diminishes into the cave. After about 15 m you come to a cave that is very shallow. Hundreds of shrimp eyes shine from the lamps. A rope leads you in and out of the cave, but only for divers with the appropriate certification / experience.

    Wonder wall
    Wonderwall is a steep wall with a depth of about 25 m. We start with an average depth of 10 m on the steep wall, which then goes to 25 m. There is an underwater spring there that can have a tremendous current at the exit. Depending on the rain. The bottom is yellow sand, which then leads us to a small shipwreck. Past the wreck, we circle a rock at about 30 m, often with a very clear view, where some schools of fish circle around us. On the slow ascent back to the steep face, there are often sightings of large sepias. If this dive is during the day, we visit pygmy seahorses, if it is a twilight dive, we visit the colorful mandarin fish at approx. 15 m.
