About this site

Buceo Point sits along the Anilao coastline in Mabini, Batangas, part of the Luzon peninsula's popular southern dive coast facing the Verde Island Passage. This stretch of coast is dotted with small points and coves worked by local dive operators out of Anilao, and Buceo Point is rated a beginner dive, making it an accessible option among the many sites clustered along this part of the passage. It's known among divers for its macro life, with sightings of Anna's Chromodoris, Black-margined Nudibranch, Chamberlain's Nembrotha, Lined Nembrotha, Loch's Chromodoris, Willan's Chromodoris, and Tryon's Hypselodoris nudibranchs, along with Ocellate Phyllidia and Clark's Anemonefish reported here as well.
