About Bas Coral
Bas Coral is a boat-access wall and reef dive off Olango Island for divers who want a more committed Cebu outing. The site combines wall sections with reef terrain and regular fish traffic, so the dive feels more structured than a simple shallow stop. Access is by banca from Kontiki Port, and the site is known for stronger current and moderate visibility, so buoyancy and timing matter. It suits confident scuba divers more than casual snorkel plans.
