    Hot Spring in Anilao is a curious site, known for the warm volcanic water that seeps from the seabed. You’ll feel the temperature changes as you drift over the sandy slope, spotting the usual Anilao suspects: frogfish, ornate ghost pipefish, and various nudibranchs. It’s a gentle dive, good for macro enthusiasts and photographers who appreciate something a little different. Just don’t expect a vibrant reef here; it’s all about the small stuff and the novelty of the warm water.
