Doljo Point is a wall dive site located on the north side of Panglao Island in the Philippines, approximately 8 km (5 miles) from Alona Beach — roughly a 20–25 minute boat ride. The reef begins as a gently sloping structure before dropping into a steep wall that reaches depths of 10–40 metres (33–131 feet). The wall is covered in large gorgonian sea fans, elephant ear corals, barrel sponges, and an array of soft and hard corals, making it a visually rich site particularly rewarding for underwater photographers.
Marine life at Doljo Point includes reef sharks, sea turtles, and schools of jackfish and snapper, while the deeper sections attract pelagic species such as trevallies and barracudas. Eagle rays and Spanish mackerels are also recorded at the site.
Strong currents are common at Doljo Point, and the site is rated intermediate to advanced — it also appears on technical diving itineraries for Panglao Island. The site is listed as protected during the southwest monsoon (Habagat), and diving is possible year-round, with November to May considered the primary season. Water temperature ranges from 25–30°C, and visibility is generally excellent.
