Pamilacan is a dive area surrounding Pamilacan Island, located off the coast of Panglao in Bohol, the Philippines, offering a wall-dominated underwater terrain along with coral gardens, sloping reefs, and sandy patches across its various sites.
The reef holds hard and soft corals, sponges, and sea fans, with marine life including butterflyfish, angelfish, and parrotfish among the resident reef fish, while barracuda and trevally patrol the open water; green sea turtles are regularly seen resting on or gliding around the reef, and dolphins and hawksbill turtles are also present in the area.
Conditions are suitable year-round, with water temperatures ranging from 26–30°C, great visibility, and light currents; the site is rated for beginner divers, with a maximum depth of 8 m.
Hazards include jellyfish and stingers, sea snakes, and trash in the water; divers should remain aware of these throughout the dive.
