Anilao, Batangas is a VERY popular spot for diving and snorkeling. It is known worldwide. The waters are teeming with marine life, plenty of corals and amazing diversity of fishes. It is hard to imagine that this beautiful place is just about 3 to 4 hours from Manila.
The northwest shore of the Calumpang Peninsula, from Anilao to Bagalangit, is lined with plenty of good resorts that cater primarily to divers. From any of the resorts, you can rent a boat for island hopping or arrange for a dive tour and visit the superb diving spots, coves, and islands like the Sombrero and Maricaban islands.
Anilao, Batangas is the name of two Philippine barangays: Anilao Proper and Anilao East. They are located in the municipality of Mabini, Batangas, which is south of Manila on the large island of Luzon.
