Here is an infographic for some of the top dive locations in the Philippines. What do you think is the best places to dive in the country? Here is the actual list, and best guide I can find online, for scuba diving Philippines. What do you think? Whats missing on the list? CLICK HERE for the...

Hey everyone! I'm going to be visiting friends and family at the end of the month and I really want to check out Anilao's dive spots while I'm there. My issue is that I'm going to be the only one diving so I don't want to spoil everyone's fun by having them deal with the rocky beaches. Anyone...

Been to Lembeh (x3), Komodo, Misool, Halmahera, Raja Ampat, Anilao. Love the muck diving and odd critters. Need a good Rhinopia fix and the psychedelic frogfish would be a plus. Is Ambon worth a visit? Land based or Liveaboard and when is best time? Maluku Resort? Thanks for any recommendations...

My new video of small critters from the Lembeh Strait and Anilao. Filmed with a Panasonic GH4 in a Nauticam NA-GH4 housing with either 2 x Keldan Luna 4X lights or 2 x FIX Neo 1000 DX SW II lights. I used an Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 EZ lens and a Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8...

My wife and I are avid muck lovers!! After going to Lembeh 3 times, Tulamben 3 times and Bangka (which has tons of great macro) 3 times I decided it really was time to see whether Anilao could "out-marco" these 3 macro giants! If you've read any of my other trip reports you will know I travel...

Hello fellow Divers – We are hoping if you, or someone you know, might be interested in taking our place on an April 27th to May 7th dive trip to Anilao in the Philippines. This is a photo dive trip with Blue Water Photo. Unfortunately, due to sudden and unexpected health issues we are forced...

Hey all, Been doing a lot of research on Philippines diving and am really in need of some advise as there are so many options and its getting very confusing! :( My wife and I will be travelling there 1st week of May and will be taking our 2 year old son and my mother in law. So we are a bit...

Hello Divers! As part of my thesis on "Coral reefs: Crown-of-thorns in Anilao, Batangas" I am required to gather your thoughts and ideas about the sea star Crown of thorns HERE in the forums. I am making an info-graphic video website all about it and I wanted to get your attention to invite...

I normally don't post on forums, but I recently just came from a trip to Batok Reef in Batangas, and I'm so ecstatic about it. I just wanted to share some photos and a few pointers on how to get there. If you're staying in Manila, Batangas is the easiest dive site to go to since it will only be...

Hi! I'm an advanced open water diver, and I just wanted to share a few tips on where and how to get certified in the Philippines. In my opinion, the Philippines has some of the best waters for diving, and Anilao, which is a 2-hour drive from the city, is an accessible and easy area to learn in...

My 2014 trip to Anilao was so amazing that I had to go back. And Bluewater Photo Travel does such a great job that there was no need to change a thing the second time around. One of the things that I found difficult in 2014 was the layover in Taipei. Fortunately, this time around there was a...

Hey there I need a bit of inspiration. Just came back from Ambon and was again hooked with muck-diving. I've been to Anilao, Cabilao, Lembeh, Ambon and Bali. Now I'm looking for THE place which is packed with unusual critters, photographer-friendly resorts, reasonable price... Was tempted to...

I'll soon be heading off to Anilao for some macro photography and I'm thinking that I'll finally be trying my hand at using a snoot. However, I'm a little lost as to which type or make to get. I've got 2 Inon Z240 strobes to go along with my Olympus E-M1 and 60 mm macro lens. Does anyone have...

Greetings from Indonesia, I am looking for a holiday in the Philippines, sometime between 27Feb-17Mar. Over the years guests have told me so many lovely things about diving in the Philippines I'm eager to go, but confused. A couple of things about me: -I am a female diver traveling alone this...
