OBJECTIF ATLANTIDE - The underwater investigation / Underwater Tour
The first Objectif Atlantide in the Philippines was undertaken in Cabilao Island, Bohol on May 5-13, 2018. This was followed by the 2nd edition which was undertaken in El Galleon Dive Resort, Small Lalaguna, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro in April 13-22, 2019. The 3rd 9-day event will happen here in Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte this coming May, 2020. Watch for the official announcement.
Cabilao Island - composed of 5 barangays
Cabilao is a Philippine island in the Cebu Strait, part of Bohol Province. It is home to the only natural lake in the province: Cabilao Island Lake, also called Lake Danao or Lanao.[1][3]
The island, part of the Municipality of Loon, has five barangays (Cabacongan, Cambaquiz, Looc, Pantudlan, and Talisay), and has a total population of 4,663 people,[2] who primarily depend on fishing and agriculture, as well as tourism.[4]
Notable indigenous products are handcrafted mats and bayongs, weaved from romblon (pandanus) leaves by a cooperation of weavers using a shared service facility in Pantudlan.[5][6]
The entire island was proclaimed as a Mangrove Swamp Forest Reserve under Proclamation No. 2152 in 1981, and confirmed by the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act of 1992 (Republic Act No. 7586). But since only a small area around Cabilao Island Lake actually has any mangroves worthy of being protected, House Bill No. 5108 of February 2017 removed the island's protection under the NIPAS Act.[1] Proclamation No. 1801, signed in November 1978, declared the entire island a tourist zone and marine reserve under the administration and control of the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA).[7]
The island is accessible by outrigger canoe ferries that connect Mocpoc on the western end of Sandingan Island to the pier on the eastern side of Cabilao Island.[4] There are no cars on the island, and local transportation consists of motorcycles and a few tricycles.[8]
