Boat Yard
Why dive here

The Boat Yard in Anilao is exactly what it sounds like – a working area where boats are repaired. You'll find a mix of discarded tires, ropes, and the occasional sunken hull section, which have become artificial reefs for a range of smaller critters. It’s a macro photographer's dream, offering plenty of nudibranchs, frogfish, and pipefish amongst the debris. This site is best for experienced divers who enjoy hunting for the unusual.
