Boat-accessed site; plan this as a guided dive with a local operator.
Layag-Layag is a reef site in Tingloy, Batangas, Philippines, and a classic Anilao boat dive with a short transfer from nearby resorts or from Tingloy on Maricaban Island. It combines steep coral slopes, sandy patches, and varied reef structure with healthy hard and soft coral, strong macro life, turtles, octopus, pygmy seahorses, and reef sharks. Currents are usually mild but can strengthen, so it suits divers who are comfortable with changing conditions and a bit of drift.
