Wilson Rock
Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - Wilson Rock offers some of Anilao's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Wilson Rock is a solid choice for macro enthusiasts visiting Anilao. The site is essentially a large, submerged boulder, offering plenty of crevices and overhangs to explore. We often find nudibranchs, frogfish, and robust ghost pipefish tucked away here. It’s a pretty easy dive, suitable for all experience levels, and often used as a second dive when currents pick up elsewhere.
