Anilao

Anilao — the birthplace of diving in the Philippines and one of the jewels of the Coral Triangle. The route from Puerto Galera covers over 40 dive sites with diverse underwater landscapes: reef systems, coral formations, underwater caves, and volcanic hot springs on the seabed. Maricaban Island impresses with coral diversity and reef fish, Sombrero Island with caves of black coral and sea fans. Secret Bay in Anilao is considered one of the world’s best spots for macro photography: nudibranchs, seahorses, and miniature octopuses. Night dives off Ligpo Island reveal a world of squid and rare nocturnal creatures.
