Panorama Reef is an Anda boat dive with a shallow wall and macro-rich slopes.
Boat-only site; a local Anda dive center or resort is the practical way to reach it.
Panorama Reef is an Anda boat dive with a shallow wall and slope, hard and soft coral, and plenty of small reef life to search through. The reef opens from a shallow top into a longer wall and sandy drop-off, so it rewards steady buoyancy, slow movement, and careful macro hunting. It suits divers who want a guide-led Bohol day dive, but the site can feel exposed when current builds.

Scuba Diving
Slow wall-and-slope dive that rewards steady trim, unhurried reef scanning, and macro hunting along the coral edge.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the boat logistics and deeper wall make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; most of the interesting structure sits below comfortable surface viewing.
