Anilao Pier
La profondeur indique la plage entre le sommet du site et son maximum habituel ; le « niveau de certification recommandé » correspond au niveau généralement demandé par les opérateurs selon les agences grand public, et non à une règle légale. Les courants et la visibilité varient chaque jour — considérez toutes ces informations comme des estimations de planification.
By day it is a working jetty; by night the rubble and castoff junk around Anilao's pier turn into one of the Philippines' famous critter dives. Torch beams pick out frogfish squatting on tires, wonderpus and mimic octopus out hunting, bobtail squid like buried gems, and nudibranchs streaming over every surface. The seafloor is unglamorous, part silt, part civilization's leftovers, which is precisely why the animals concentrate here. Depth barely passes 12 m, so bottom time stretches long, and photographers often burn an entire battery within sight of the entry point.
Le moment pour lequel vous venez: Nocturnal octopus parade, frogfish on artificial perches, long shallow bottom times
Topographie: Silty sand, rubble, and pier debris
Courant: Negligible inside the harbor area.
Entrée: Entries work around an active jetty; operators coordinate with boat traffic and mostly dive it at dusk and after dark.
À savoir avant de plonger
Dangers: Boat movements near the jetty, poor visibility, sharp debris, and venomous camouflage experts underfoot.
Conservation: Debris doubles as habitat; leave every object, however trashy it looks, exactly where it lies.
