I love diving and diving in a new site at least once a year is a must for me. Hopefully it will still be possible as Phase 3 is in sight and *cross fingers* travel restrictions will ease gradually.
Anilao is a municipality in the province of Iloilo in Philippines. It is also a Marine Protected Sanctuary well-known for muck diving and therefore great for underwater macro photography.
The hubby is better skilled at underwater photography but I absolutely love looking for tiny critters especially nudibranchs! So needless to say, I was really excited about this dive trip. 🤩
We were well rewarded throughout the entire trip. Besides numerous nudibranchs in a crazy array of shapes and colors, we also spotted giant frogfishes, minuscule pygmy seahorses, and the rare blue-ringed octopus. During our final dive, we even experienced the unexpected eruption of Taal Volcano!
Hard to imagine all these happened less than a year ago. 😳 Definitely a very thrilling and worthwhile new place to go!
