Dive Sites in panglao
Panglao is a famous tourist destination for its white and sand beaches and world-class diving
sites. Panglao is very accessible to other natural wonders of Bohol such as Chocolate Hills, the
countless springs, rivers, falls and caves and thr ever cute tarsier, the smallest primate in
the world.
Panglao Island is a small coralline and limestone island, located off the southwestern tip of
Bohol. It is connected to Bohol by two bridges. It has an area of 80.5 square kilometers,
divided between two municipalities, Panglao in the southwest, and Dauis in the northeast. Most
divers, will probably select the white-sand Alona beach as their base and starting point for
diving tours.
The underwater scene around Alona is exceptional, and divers can score nifty package deals by
combining dives with accommodation. Just 15 km from tagbilaran, Alona works just fine as a base
for exploring the rest of Bohol.
