This dive site in Lila, a small coastal town in South Bohol, offers tremendously popular whale shark watching and snorkeling experiences. While popular, it is also controversial due to the whale sharks not naturally gathering here but migrating along Bohol. The activity primarily focuses on observing these gentle giants in relatively shallow waters, making navigation simple and straightforward.
The primary marine animal to be seen here is the whale shark. While the description mentions the rich biodiversity of Bohol, for this specific site, the focus is almost exclusively on whale shark encounters. No other specific fish species or coral types are highlighted as main attractions for this particular location.
The best time to visit for whale shark encounters is between November and June, with peak sightings from February to April. Due to the shallow depths, this site is ideal for both scuba divers, snorkelers, and freedivers looking for memorable interactions with whale sharks. Divers should be mindful of the controversial nature of the activity and adhere to local guidelines.
