Diving in Balicasag Island, Bohol Balicasag is an island located off the south of Panglao Island in Bohol Province. With a total land area of 25 hectares, 1.5 hectares diving has been transformed into a beach dive resort. Balicasag Island is all you would imagine a tropical island to be: vast deserted white sand beaches, stately palm trees scattered all around, flowering bougainvilleas adding vivid colors to the never ending blue seas and skies. From scuba diving to deep sea diving, Balicasag is a haven for all divers and beach bums. Some of the best diving sites are located around Balicasag Island. Its crystal clear waters provide a window to the bounty of corals and aquatic animals in the area. On the south portion of Balicasag is a protected marine reserve reaching up to 400 meters of ocean space. This sanctuary has a steep vertical wall of hard and soft corals and generally has strong underwater currents. During the months of December and January, some hammerhead sharks and great whale sharks can be spotted. In the dives, a school of jackfish may accompany you while groupers unhurriedly swim down below.
