El Pinoy in Anilao offers a straightforward dive, often used for training and refreshers due to its generally calm conditions. You'll find a sloping reef here, populated with a mix of hard and soft corals, where we've spotted nudibranchs, crabs, and occasional schools of small reef fish. It’s a solid choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive without strong currents.
