Anilao

Anilao, a resort village in Mabini, Batangas is considered the summer mecca of diving fanatics. The resort offers accommodations and diving facilities, plus the services of training clubs that provide courses on diving.

Situated in the southeast area of Batangas province, Anilao may be reached within three hours from Manila through public buses or jeepneys. From Anilao, one can start diving from the shore or go in bancas to nearby islands. Among them is Sombrero (Hat) Island, a marine preserve where sports activities are regulated.

Other dive spots in this side of Batangas are Mapating Rock at Maricaban Island, Caban Cove and Layag Layag Point.

The reason behind this is because Anilao is a marine protected sanctuary. The local government of Mabini and Tingloy and NGO's put together an effort to create a CRM Board or Coastal Resource Marine Board to chase out all activities of illegal fishing specially on dive sites and by maintaining good balance and protecting the different coral species from damage of anchoring banca boats and to educate local community in various ways of preserving this wonderful place.
Anilao is located south of Luzon Island and is approximately 140 km. away from Manila or 2.5 to 3 hours by car during normal traffic condition or depending on how you drive. Currently Anilao has more than 40 dive sites with about 5 to 10 minutes apart or 30 minutes the farthest point from any resorts. It has a wide variety of diving choices, from novices to instructors where you can see different species of corals, big pelagic fish or rare to find critters where on every dive you will surely be satisfied.
We have 2 full time Padi instructors and 1 assistant instructor and many Padi divemasters to render all the services you need in all aspects of scuba diving. It is also working together with some dive resorts in anilao to share the loads or let the guest choose their preferred resorts choices in terms of their capacity, life style or diving needs.
