Koala

The Koala dive site sits along the Mabini coast in Anilao, Batangas, facing the Verde Island Passage between Luzon and the nearby islands, and is typically reached by banca from the resorts clustered around Anilao. It is a reef dive with a maximum depth of around 20 metres, rated intermediate, with good visibility over the reef bottom. Divers have reported clownfish, frogfish, and nudibranchs here, in keeping with the muck and macro diving Anilao's many small named sites are generally worked for.
