Dauis

Dauis is a coastal town on the island of Panglao in Bohol, Philippines. While the area is known for its access to the surrounding reef and marine life through nearby dive centers, the town itself is more of a gateway for divers visiting the region. Most diving activity centers on proximity to Dauis’ shore access and the wider Panglao–Tagbilaran area, with reefs, walls, and macro sites reachable by day trips from local operators. The waters are tropical with typical visibility varying seasonally; divers commonly encounter coral communities, small reef fishes, and occasional larger pelagics depending on the site and conditions. For those visiting, Dauis provides convenient lodging and easy road access to popular dive sites around Panglao and the nearby Cabilao and Panglao marine parks.
