    Mainit Point is a reliable spot in Anilao for finding schooling fish, particularly various fusiliers and snapper. The currents here can be zippy, making it an excellent drift dive when conditions align. It's a good choice for divers who appreciate the dynamics of pelagic action over macro photography. You'll want to keep an eye out for larger predators patrolling the edges of the schools.
