Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - Corner offers some of Anilao's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Corner sits just off the mainland, a straightforward dive for those newer to Anilao. It's mostly a sloping reef to about 20m, scattered with soft corals and some anemones. We’ve seen nudibranchs here, a few frogfish if you look hard, and plenty of reef fish going about their day. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive or to shake off the rust.
