Divers of all levels are welcome @ The Philip Ann Resort

World-class biodiversity, easy access

Just two hours south of Manila – traffic dependent of course – Anilao is, without doubt, one of the most accessible diving destinations in the entire country. And, with such a convenient location, it’s hardly a surprise that this small peninsula was the birthplace of scuba diving in the Philippines, and the site of the country’s very first dive centre in 1966. 

Some 50 years later, the industry’s respect and admiration for Anilao’s underwater world has endured, if not grown. The spot remains a staple among Manila-based divers and has built itself a strong reputation as a rival for many of the worlds most iconic dive destinations.
