The diving in Anilao is good all year round. It is always possible to find protected places and the diving is good and varied. During the autumn it can be quite windy, but normally it is good and here you will often find lots of funny and strange octopuses, an incredible number of different nudibranchs, frogfish, various kinds of ghost pipefish and crustaceans. The diving is mixed with everything from rock walls to flat sandy bottoms or more normal slopes and reefs. Sometimes turtles appear and add to the diving experience. Perhaps a shoal of tuna or sardines sweeps you in and darkens the light and even occasional reef sharks and rays can be seen.
Term: Normally around 10-30 meters depending on choice of dive site.
Weather: Anilao generally has good weather all year round, although it is often windy and rains a little more in the autumn, August - December. The water temperature is often 27-30 °C, although it normally drops lower in January-February and can be down to 23-24 °C. The marine life is good all year round.
