Welcome to Anilao
Diving and Resorts, we are inside Isla Water Sports and Resorts Inc.,
this website was created with three major components the scuba dive
courses, fun dives or dive package arrangements and resort
accommodations. This a vision of Ronnie Corpuz a IDC staff instructor
to share his experience and invite more divers and other tourists
around the globe to explore this magnificent diving destination in
the Philippines. Anilao is currently the number one in macro
photography in the whole Philippine archipelago and number two in the
whole world - this is base on the responses of the different divers
around the globe who came and visit here the whole
year-round.
The reason behind this is because Anilao is included in the
Philippines's MPA Marine Protected Area. The local government
of Mabini and Tingloy and NGO's put together an effort to create a
CRM Board or Coastal Resource Marine Board to chase out all
activities of illegal fishing especially on dive sites and by
maintaining good balance and protecting the different coral species
from the damage of anchoring Banca boats and to educate the local
community in various ways of preserving this wonderful
place.
Anilao is located south of Luzon Island and is approximately 140 km.
away from Manila or 2.5 to 3 hours by car during normal traffic
conditions or depending on how you drive. Currently Anilao has more
than 54 dive sites with about 5 to 10 minutes apart or 30 minutes the
farthest point from any resorts. It has a wide variety of diving
choices, from novices to instructors where you can see different
species of corals, big pelagic fish or rare to find critters where on
every dive you will surely be
satisfied.
Ronnie Corpuz being the full-time instructor and many Padi
divemasters to render all the services you need in all aspects of
scuba diving. It is also working together with some dive resorts in
Anilao to share their dive instructional loads or to let the guest
