Anilao, Batangas: June 2021 Dive

posted on Tuesday, June 29, 2021

We waited a month to return to Anilao, Batangas’ macro haven after our opening turned mid-year dive on the last weekend of May 2021. We booked our 4-day stay with none other than Anilao Boarding House. Its dreamy beachfront view room costing P2,000, good for two pax, is no doubt incomparable in the area. And since we are only doing shore dives, it is certainly the best place to satisfy our macro hearts. As part of its COVID-19 safety protocol, the resort requires guests to present negative antigen tests or medical certificates. Guests are also asked to fill out a health declaration form to be submitted to the LGU.

We scheduled our five dives with Kuya Mac Tabangay, one of our regular fave dive masters. This is technically my fourth dive trip with my Sony RX 100 camera and its Nauticam underwater housing and I’m sure getting the hang of it. We saw around 15 kinds of nudibranchs and I particularly liked the yellow nudi that literally looked like a yellow ribbon underwater. Also saw a Trapania-like small nudi that has an elaborate rhinopore. And oh, the black and yellow dotted nudi is quite a gem, too! Enjoy viewing!

About Mona

Certified as a PADI rescue diver. Got my first compact camera in 2011. I was simply content then to just capture a glimpse of what I see during my dives. It was only last February 2014 that I fully maximized the use of manual macro settings.

My camera skills and knowledge are still a work in progress. Enjoy browsin’!
