Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - Aphol’s offers some of Anilao's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Aphol's sits just off the coast of Anilao, a straightforward dive to 20m. It's a gentle slope, mostly rubble and sand, but we often spot frogfish and various nudibranchs tucked away. The site is a good choice for beginners or those dialling in their macro photography skills, with generally calm conditions. Think slow dives, looking for the small stuff.
