Birhen Point

Birhen Point is an advanced dive site in the Anda area of eastern Bohol, Philippines, where a current-swept headland at thirty meters depth creates dynamic diving conditions and concentrated marine encounters. This site on Bohol's less-visited coast offers the kind of current-influenced point diving that produces memorable marine experiences for experienced divers willing to explore beyond the island's more famous western destinations. The headland at Birhen Point deflects the coastal currents, creating the upwellings and nutrient concentrations that characterize productive point dives. The reef descends to thirty meters with varied terrain that includes slopes, rocky formations, and the current-swept point itself where marine activity is most intense. The advanced rating reflects the depth and the powerful currents that make this section of coast challenging but rewarding. Marine life at Birhen Point benefits from the current dynamics that the headland generates. Schools of jacks and fusiliers congregate in the productive water, while the reef structure supports diverse communities enhanced by the nutrient-rich currents. The relatively light diving pressure on Anda's reefs means that fish populations and coral health surpass many more accessible Bohol sites. Birhen Point offers advanced divers an authentic Anda diving experience, where current-driven marine encounters and the frontier character of eastern Bohol create genuinely exciting underwater adventures off the beaten path.
