Balicasag Island Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Balicasag Island is an equatorial coral island, located in the middle of the sea, about a 45-minute flight from Bohol. Balicasa Island is home to the world-famous Balicasa fault, which is said to have a seafloor drop of 1,000 meters and is listed as a marine protected area with a magnificent landscape. Balicasa Island is also a gathering place for many diving enthusiasts. One of its major features is that you can float in the water and overlook the Balicasa fault. From the underwater point of view, the entire coral island looks like a pillar more than a thousand meters high standing on the bottom of the sea, and the part exposed to the sea is Balicasa Island. Diving here you can see precious and rare black coral reefs, which grow around the fault, and the coral is rose-shaped, extra large and gorgeous. You can also see beautiful marine life such as groups of tropical fish and funny clown fish on the bottom of the sea. There are also colorful corals, various schools of fish, etc., which are dizzying and unforgettable.

Really nice little island with friendly locals. The weather was bad the day we went but we still had an amazing time.
ow➕ aow baricassa five dive Jack fish storm continues to advance diving ~💫 The scenery here is unique, can't bear to leave! ! Come again next time.
The sea market is passing by on the trip to Virgin Island. Many stalls are at sea, almost all barbecues, which look very attractive. The taste is very general, the taste of the Philippines is not very suitable for Chinese taste.
Barikasa Island is a world-famous diving resort, not far from Mint Island, located in the Barikasa Fault, with a depth of 2,000 meters. It not only forms the diversity of marine species, but also creates a unique natural wonder. The water quality is very clear, where you can feel the charm of nature anytime and anywhere. Every moment you take a picture, you do not need P-map. They can be used directly as desktop backgrounds.
The cheapest and most efficient way to play is to take a one-day tour with a group: Arona Beach is full of snorkels and travel agencies, remember that there are three stores, never with the Chinese group, the price tripled, let alone I did not remind you. General routine contents include: A. gathering at 6:30 a.m. to see dolphins at sea; B. going to Baricasa Island, diving separately, snorkeling, deep diving, items and times can b e selected and matched; C. gathering at more than 10 o'clock to take pictures on Virgin Island; D. returning to Arona Beach at more than 12 noon; E. fee: 300-400P for boat, 1500P for deep diving, 250P for snorkeling each time (one). See fish at a potential, turtle at a potential, free choice is not forced to sell. 2. Another way to play is to go directly to Baricasa by boat and live on the island. It doesn't cost money to snorkel every day, but the rent may be more expensive.
Casa Island in Paris is the best place to dive around mint, but because of the serious damage, there are more coral deaths and fish need to be seduced by food such as bread. Far less than the scale of other well-known potential such as Sipadan. Locals will let you choose what to snorkel. I chose to see turtles and small fish and coral, and negotiated the price of 400P with them. Later, I rented a snorkel for 150P, but I always felt that the snorkel was not very clean in everyone's mouth, so I suggested that people who want to snorkel could buy a pair at home or locally. The conditions on the road are also relatively poor, snorkeling also needs to pay a lot of fees, feeling a bit low cost performance.
Diving here is really beautiful, there are many super fish in the sea, the coral is beautiful, the big fault is spectacular and a little scary. Although it's beautiful like paradise, we must pay attention to safety when diving. Don't really fall into the big fault to go to paradise.
