    Giant Clams in Anilao lives up to its name. You’ll find impressive specimens here, some easily over a meter long, nestled among the hard corals. It’s a pretty straightforward dive, often used for training or a relaxed second dive. We’d suggest it for newer divers or anyone looking for an easy morning enjoying some truly massive molluscs.
