Anilao And Batangas Verde Island Passage Philippines

A 30 m-long shipwreck that sank in 2003 and now rests in 20–30 m of water. The wreck can be entered and explored, offering a look at the ship’s structure and the marine life around it. Corals have colonized the wreck and it attracts various fish species, making it a combined wreck-and-reef style dive.

This house reef in front of the Anilao Bo Hotel is known for abundant macro life and is popular with underwater photographers. It can be dived at any time of day and is described as having no current. The site is also described as fish-rich, with a strong focus on finding a wide range of macro creatures.

Shallow structure and fish life near shore.

This site features a main wreck marked by a buoy and descent line, with very high fish life concentrated inside the structure. Two additional smaller wrecks lie on the return toward shore: an SUV and an old helicopter. The main wreck is reported at around 35 m depth. A nearby reef can be dived to the right of the resort on a shore entry, or to the left when accessed by boat.

An SUV wreck set as an artificial reef, used as an easy training site for courses. It sits on a gentle sandy slope and is reached with a short, easy swim from the lower parking area. Access is from the beach and booties are recommended. Conditions for reaching it are seasonal, with access possible during Amihan but not Habagat.

Rock structure and reef habitat that can be productive for both wideangle compositions and macro searching.
