Secret Bay
Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - Secret Bay offers some of Anilao's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Secret Bay, or Mainit Muck, is a spot we always hit for macro. It's a slope of black sand and rubble, perfect for finding critters like nudibranchs, frogfish, and robust ghost pipefish. We’d suggest this site for photographers or anyone keen on slow, deliberate dives looking for the small stuff. Conditions are usually calm, so it’s a good easy dive.
