    Koala Reef in Anilao offers a straightforward reef dive, good for warming up or a relaxing second tank. You'll find a healthy patch of hard corals, with the usual suspects like angelfish and parrotfish picking their way through. It's a solid choice for newer divers or anyone looking for a less demanding drift. We often use it when checking gear after a break from diving.
