A small neighboring municipality off the shores of Anilao, Tingloy is known for Maricaban Island, where most resorts are located. Sepoc Point and Twin Rocks are the most popular diving spots around the island, which are usually included in dive packages offered by Anilao dive centers due to their proximity.

Nasugbu

Nasugbu is another diving wonderland in Batangas, just a few hours from Manila and Tagaytay. The town’s diving sites are excitingly deep, colorful, and vibrant with life. Get filled with awe as you dive deeper — find the pink corals at Pink Wall, stingrays hovering around Coral Garden, or the sinkholes of Blue Hole.

Just south of Bauan and Anilao, San Luis is a lesser-known yet very worthwhile diving destination in Batangas as it’s also facing Balayan Bay with its many striking dive sites and marine ecosystem. In San Luis, the colorful scenery of corals and fish are not too far off from the shore.
