Verde Island
Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - Verde Island offers some of Anilao's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Alright, Verde Island. If you’re diving Anilao and looking for a bit more punch, this is often the pick. The currents here are the main event, sweeping through the passage between Luzon and Mindoro, and they’re what draw in the bigger schools of fish. We've certainly had some exhilarating drifts along the walls, but those downcurrents are no joke, so it's definitely a spot for experienced divers comfortable in dynamic conditions. Expect some serious fusilier action and the occasional pelagic passing through, all against a dramatic coral backdrop.
