Bohol - Tauchplätze

BALICASAG ISLAND (5 sites) Close to the wall are schools of snappers, fusiliers, turtles and mouth mackerel. Head out a little into the blue water and you may well see schools of barracuda and big eyed jacks that have made residence here. Watch out too for passing giant trevally and tuna. All around the island there is an abundance of fish life. Get caught up in a 'donut' of Jack-fish and be amazed at how many fish just keep coming at you. There are also a couple of schools of Juvenile Barracudas hunting in these waters and turtles also seem to like these waters...we are sure you will like it here also! When we head of to Balicasag Island we make two or three dives there. The dive sites we do that particular day will be determent by our dive guides when we get there. Experienced eyes will try to figure out where it is most interesting to dive that day.
