Bonito
Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - Bonito offers some of Anilao's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Bonito offers a gentle drift along a sloping reef, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive. We've often spotted schooling fusiliers and the occasional turtle gliding past. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs on the shallower corals. It’s a solid, easy dive when you want to avoid stronger currents.
