Magic Oceans was a perfect spot for our family to gather and enjoy diving for beginners and experienced divers. The staff was very friendly, attentive and ready to make our stay wonderful. Shout outs to LeeAnn who was with us for the whole time diving and touring. She was in tune with what we liked to do and was a great guide. Jamie, the manager, was personable and helpful too. The rooms were comfortable--beds and A/C- and were quiet. The gardens were really lovely. The dive shop was large and well-equipped and the dive boats were awesome! So comfortable with shade, good places to sit and easy on and off the boat. The diving was special--the diversity was great--we saw lots of nudibranchs, turtles, frogfish, cuttlefish, eels, sea snakes, shrimp, electric clams, gorgeous coral. Not the place to see sharks but loads of smaller things. We would go back--beautiful spot and safe. Night diving was also awesome!

I loved my stay at Magic Oceans in Anda, Bohol. It’s about 2.5 hours from Panglao airport, and it’s so worth the trip! The vibe is super quiet and relaxed—never saw any other boats on the reef except ours, which was really cool.

The dive center is spacious with plenty of room to gear up. While there’s no dedicated camera room, they’ve set aside some benches specifically for cameras, so that worked just fine. The boats are big with lots of space and shade, plus there’s a toilet onboard, which is always nice. We had fresh fruit with tea, coffee, and water between dives, which made the surface intervals really chill. The entry is a giant stride, and getting back on the boat is super easy with the stairs.

The diving here was awesome! You can choose from walls, muck diving, or coral gardens, and the wall dives were insane—so much color and marine life. One of the dives had a really strong current, which made for an epic drift dive. Most dive sites were just a 10-minute ride from the resort, so you’re in the water pretty quick. Anda has just come into my top 5 sites in the world!

Food was a highlight too! It’s all family-style dining with your dive group, but if you want a private table, you can ask for one. They went above and beyond for my gluten and dairy allergies. I even got crispy fried food and tempura veggies, which almost never happens with my restrictions.

The rooms were super comfy and spacious, with big lounging chairs and a huge bathroom with solid hot water and complimentary toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash). I had an ocean view with lush forest right in front, and it was so peaceful. There’s a sandy oceanfront area with lounge chairs and plenty of shade for chilling when you’re not diving. There are hammocks around the resort too.

Overall, I had an amazing time here and would definitely come back!

I really enjoyed my five night stay at Magic Oceans. The staff were fantastic and very responsive to meet requests. Dive guides varied from good to excellent. Don't miss the night dives on the house reef: I went every night! Three boat dives are offered every day plus a guided shore night dive. I rented equipment which was good quality and set up for me (I checked setup); you can set up your own equipment if you wish. Dives were drift dives along a wall with plentiful varied hard and soft corals, sponges and anenomes. Challenging to hunt for small creatures when currents are strong! Fish life was pretty good, perhaps due to less local fishing pressure, but not a focus. The bungalows were spacious, simple and comfortable; I especially appreciated the supportive bed and nice balcony with big drying rack. Food was plentiful but too rich and salty for my taste. I had an excellent massage. Dive jetty was destroyed in the typhoon so we had to wade to the well-set-up boat, but rebuild should be completed soon since they are working day and night tides permitting! The resort pool and grounds are beautiful and well-designed. Caveat: if you have any mobility issues this would not be a good choice.

I had a very enjoyable stay at this resort. The diving was wonderful -- better than what I experienced in other Philippine diving (Dumaguete and Puerto Galera). The reefs were much healthier here and there was more diversity of fish and invertebrates. (I give "marine life" 4 stars only because marine life in the Philippines is limited in general -- mostly small stuff. This has nothing to do with the dive resort or location).

The dive operation was well run -- skilled, helpful staff and a sizable, well-organized area for gear storage and clean-up. The bungalow I stayed in was delightful, the grounds of the resort were lovely and the meals were tasty. The dining room and bar staff were very friendly and accommodating. There's a nice little village nearby to visit via a short tuk-tuk ride. All in all -- terrific diving and a lovely resort.

Magic Oceans is the sister resort to Magic Island. Most people spend a week at each dive resort. Magic Oceans is a bit newer and larger than Magic Island. There are a few more guests, but it does not seem crowded. The rooms and bathrooms are also newer and larger than the ones at Magic Island. Just like Magic Island, the staff is amazing. Within a day or two, the kitchen staff will greet you by name.

The dive staff is also great. Shout out to LeAnn - she's a great dive guide. The house reef is a bit more difficult to access due to tidal variations. The real draw for Magic Oceans is the muck diving where you will see ever imaginable tiny critter. Secret Place at first glance seems like a barren sandy bottom. A closer look yields frog fish the size of small coins, flamboyant cuttlefish, shrimp, nudibranchs and octopus. It was such a great dive site that our boat group chose to go there three times during the week. The food was also very good and varied. We would absolutely go back again!
