Long coral wall with a shallow top, cave pockets, and drift-prone water movement; good for macro and blue-water passes.
About Talisay
Talisay is a shore-access wall dive on Cabilao in Bohol with a shallow coral top, a long drop-off, and an easy coastline entry. The reef carries hard corals, sea fans, gorgonians, and small cave pockets that make it a strong macro dive, while the current can turn it into a drift-style profile on better days. It suits divers who are comfortable with wall terrain, blue-water passes, and changing water movement.
