Buceo Anilao Beach & Dive Resort

Buceo Anilao Beach & Dive Resort is your gateway to the underwater treasures of Anilao, set across a 5,000sqm coastal property in Mabini & Batangas, Philippines. Under combined local and European management, it pairs modern facilities with the relaxed tropical style — and the famous Filipino hospitality — that make a dive trip feel effortless.

Courses and what it's known for

As a PADI Resort with 2 PADI Instructors, the centre runs PADI Scuba Diving and PADI Snorkelling, along with EFR First Aid training. An onsite training pool and classroom keep learning comfortable, while air fills, Nitrox, and a full range of rental equipment — from BCDs and regulators to dive computers and aluminium cylinders — cover divers at every level.

The house reef is the signature draw here: the Buceo Anilao House Reef sits right on the waterfront, surrounded by reefs rich in marine life and designed with even the most demanding underwater photographers in mind. With a dive boat, onsite accommodation, food and drinks, free Wi-Fi, and staff speaking English and Filipino, it suits photographers and easygoing divers alike.
