Anilao Dive Operators

[reign180]

Hey Guys and Girls,

My wife and I are heading over to the Philippines mid March. We've got a few days diving in Ticao and Coron, and then about 5 days diving in Anilao.

Does anyone have a recommendation for dive shops in Anilao?
It's the last leg of our trip and we haven't booked accommodation or anything yet. Trying to work out if it's worth staying and diving with someone like Buceo or staying somewhere cheaper and finding someone good to dive with.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Just got back from my 3rd trip to anilao, I've used Buceo Anilao all three times and have found it to suit my needs. They do have 3 types of rooms now but the cheaper ones are harder to book as they are quite popular.

If you're really into diving and UW imaging, I recommend Club Ocellarirs and have friends who really like Crystal Blue

Greatly appreciated if you can post a report on Ticao.
Linking up Ticao, Coron and Anilao is interesting in terms of travelling.

I've been to Aiyanar twice. Quite good. GREAT photo room. Excellent food.

Check out anilao camper. Very friendly, decent food, inexpensive. Geared toward the budget minded.

Just got back after 10 days at Anilao, and five days at Puerto Galera. Stayed at Crystal Blue in Anilao and it was great, except for all the stairs. Wonderful dive guide and boat crew!
