Acerca de Anchor
Anchor es una inmersión avanzada en barco en Apo Reef, centrada en un gran ancla antigua que descansa sobre una elevación cubierta de coral. Los buceadores suelen venir por la actividad de peces de aguas abiertas, mientras cardúmenes de pargos y barracudas atraviesan el sitio, y las condiciones cambian notablemente cuando empieza a correr la corriente.

Local Intel For Anchor
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Main feature is a large anchor on a coral-covered hill around 32 m.
Freedive
This is not typically a freedive-focused site because the main attraction sits deep and conditions can become current-sensitive.
Snorkel
Anchor is generally a better fit for scuba than snorkeling because the signature feature is deep and boat-based access is the norm.
