Kirby s Rock
Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - Kirby s Rock offers some of Anilao's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Kirby's Rock is a solid choice for a second or third dive in Anilao, especially if you're looking for something straightforward. It's a rocky patch, not a dramatic wall, but we consistently find a good mix of smaller reef fish here. Ideal for divers who enjoy a relaxed pace and appreciate spotting critters tucked into crevices.
