Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - North Wall offers some of Anilao's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Anilao's North Wall usually means a gentle current drift along a reef face that drops to about 24 meters. It's a great spot for macro enthusiasts, as we often find nudibranchs, frogfish, and robust ghost pipefish tucked into the corals. Intermediate divers will appreciate the relaxed pace and the chance to really slow down and observe the smaller critters. It’s a solid afternoon dive when you want to unwind.
