Anda house reef with macro life, coral slopes, and night dives.
Anda house reef with macro life, coral slopes, and night dives.
Use the resort dive centre or a local Anda operator for entry choice, night-dive timing, and locating macro subjects responsibly.
Magic Point is the Magic Oceans house reef in Anda, Bohol, with a shallow reef top, coral slope, sandy sections, and wall-style terrain close to the resort. It is a strong macro and night-dive site, with mandarinfish, blue-ringed octopus, wonderpus, pygmy seahorses, frogfish, nudibranchs, cuttlefish, turtles, and reef fish rewarding slow, careful searching. Easy resort logistics make it accessible, but the best dives still depend on buoyancy, no-touch behavior, and letting the guide place divers around sensitive critter habitat.

Safety Notes
Keep excellent buoyancy around coral, sand, and tiny animals. Blue-ringed octopus and other small venomous or delicate species should never be touched or harassed for photos.
Access Restrictions
House-reef access is tied to Magic Oceans resort logistics and the dive centre's current entry plan. Confirm whether the dive is being run from shore, jetty, or boat.
Legal Notes
Follow local reef rules, no-touch wildlife etiquette, guide instructions, and any municipal or resort controls for the Anda coast.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A strong fit for shore, night, macro, and photography dives, plus easier guided dives for newer certified divers with good buoyancy.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can be possible on the shallow house-reef sections when surface conditions are calm, but many signature subjects require scuba and a slow guide-led search.
