How to get to the Cabilao
The small island of Cabilao is located just in front of Bohol's north coast, about 30km from Tagbilaran, along the coastal road to Calape and Tubigon. The closest airport is Mactan-Cebu, from where you got to get to Argao and then to Cabilao by ferry. The island is surrounded by a coral reef that falls steeply down to about 50m/164ft. In the shallower part divers can find a seagrass meadow and impressive coral formations occupied by stone fish and harlequin ghost pipefish. Cabilao Island has several perfect dive spots for both novice and experienced divers. Away from the mass tourism, overcrowded areas and commercialization the island offers a real paradise with an intact underwater world, a fascinating variety of tropical fish and colorful coral formations. Divers can swim through hard and table corals as well as overhangs, crevices and caves. Underwater photographers will not be disappointed and the night dives are spectacular as well.
Popular dive sites on Cabilao are South Point (with its spectacular drop off), Gorgonian Wall, Cambaquiz, Lighthouse and Fallen Tree. All dive sites feature rich marine life.
