Anilao is located about 3 hours drive south of Manila on the island of Luzon, in the Batangas province of the Philippines.

Both Puerto Galera and Anilao are accessible by land / boat from Manilla so no additional internal flights are required. Zoom out on the map above and you will see they are near each other. The price shown is for 5 nights. Please let me know if you are interested in fewer nights at Puerto Galera.
El Galleon Resort / Asia Divers, Sabang, Puerto Galera, Philippines May 15-20, 2018
Puerto Galera's dive sites are as varied as the species you'll find there. There are walls, sloping reefs, and the occasional small wreck, all only a very short boat ride away. Many of the dive sites rank right up there on the 'pretty' scale, offering excellent wide-angle scenery. 'Muck' dive sites like Boatyard and Manila channel are home to a huge array of macro critters, including nudibranchs, reef octopus, hairy frogfish, mimic octopi, seahorses and the like.
