    CharacterReef dive

    Fantasea Reef offers a good introduction to Anilao's coral environments. It’s mostly a slope, running down to about 20 metres, with patches of hard and soft corals where we often spot nudibranchs and small reef fish. Currents are typically mild here, making it a comfortable spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. Visibility is usually consistent, around 15-20 metres on a good day.
