Hi! Curious if anyone has been diving in / around Anilao and could report back as to what the water tempature has been. Heading out next week and want to make sure I bring the right thermal protection. Thanks!

Been diving in Anilao for the past week and getting 79F every dive. did get a 77F at 92feet one day though.
One thing I will say is the VIS is not so good. Not sure why, perhaps the Taal volcano put a lot of ash in the water or earthquakes stirring up the bottom? The other side of the pennisula seemed to be have better VIS at Manit, bubbles point, and red rock dive sites.
For me a 3mm shortie would work well here, but I had my 5mm shortie made for me by JMJ wetsuits. It has the feel of a 3mm and I use it for bodyboarding and snorkeling in California. Update on weather; today very windy. The VIS has improved a bit. Lots of nudi's out and about together with lots of fish. Good dive day. Many resorts have been getting canceled customers from different parts of Asia due to the CoronaVirus.
