    Anilao Pier is a prime muck diving spot, right in the heart of things. We've spent hours here, meticulously combing the muddy bottom for frogfish, flamboyant cuttlefish, and all manner of unusual critters. It's not a site for big pelagics or sweeping coral vistas, but if you love macro photography and patiently searching for the bizarre, this is your kind of dive. The pier structure itself provides plenty of nooks and crannies for things to hide, making every dive a treasure hunt.
