Dive Spot Guide•
Ligpo Cave
Compact overhead cave-and-wall dive in Anilao.
Anilao cave dive with a tight overhead section, a wall and reef outside, and enough room only for a few divers inside at once.
About Ligpo Cave
Ligpo Cave is a compact Anilao cave-and-wall dive where a shallow opening leads into an overhead section and then onto a deeper reef profile with lush soft coral, sea fans, and a lot of small-reef life. It is better treated as a guided, calm-water dive than as a casual swim-through, with buoyancy control and timing doing most of the work.
