Best for advanced divers, 5-30m, boat entry, strong current.
Blue Hole in Anilao is a technically varied dive site featuring a reef, cavern, cave, and drop-off. Suitable for advanced divers, the site ranges from 5 to 30 metres in depth, with deeper water extending beyond. Visibility typically fluctuates between 10 and 30 metres. Divers must manage strong currents and potential down currents, particularly along the drop-off. Maintaining precise buoyancy control is essential to avoid contact with sharp coral and rocks. Access is by boat, and conditions can include surge and swell at the entry point. Water temperatures remain between 26 and 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

Check current direction and strength with your boat crew before descending, as down currents along the drop-off can develop without warning and change quickly. Confirm decompression gas arrangements in advance if you plan to push deeper, as facilities are limited and you should not rely on finding support locally.
Anilao is reached via a 2.5 to 3.5 hour drive from Manila. Dive sites are typically accessed by a 5 to 15 minute boat ride from local resorts.
