    Buceo Point in Anilao offers a straightforward dive, often used for checking gear or as a gentle second dive. You’ll typically find a sloping reef here, home to a scattering of anemones with their resident clownfish and a good variety of smaller reef fish. It’s a solid choice for newer divers getting comfortable with conditions or for anyone looking for an unhurried macro hunt. The currents are generally mild, making for an easy drift along the reef edge.
