    Anilao’s House Reef is an easy start for anyone getting their fins wet. The site sits around 12 meters, making it ideal for checking buoyancy or a relaxed afternoon dive. We regularly spot nudibranchs, gobies, and small reef fish tucked into the coral rubble. It’s a solid choice for macro photographers needing a gentle environment.
