Anilao April & May 2017

Anilao boasts some of the highest concentration of diverse marine life on the planet, including over 90% of the coral species found worldwide and a staggering number of fish, shrimps, nudibranches, and other animal species.  Anilao is a peninsula that juts out into the ocean about a two hours drive south of Manila and offers over 40 different dive sites all within a 30-minute boat ride of each other.  Coral walls, coral shelves, coral slopes, muck dives, drift dives, and night dives are all excellent and available in Anilao.

Dive sites: Mainit, The Bridge, Bethlehem, Sombrero, Beatrice, Lighthouse, Apol, Koala, Arthur’s Rock, Solana

Best for viewing: According to a marine biologist from the Smithsonian we met, “Anilao is by far the most bio-diverse place on the planet!”
