With more than 40 dive sites nearby, Anilao is world-famous for its impressive variety of habitats, supporting an ever-changing cast of captivating critters, schooling fish, and gentle coral reefs. Not least are the nudis. This is perhaps the most diverse nudibranch destination, from the microscopic to rare bubble dottos and pikacus. For your optimal comfort and enjoyment, a standard guide: diver raio is 1:2. A typical day begins with two morning dives from the resort's dive boats. Divers then return to the resort for lunch before heading back out for a third dive in the afternoon. Night diving and blackwater diving are optional extras and can be easily arranged with your guide on board. The pace is relaxed, with dives typically lasting 60-70 minutes. Between dives, enjoy freshly baked biscuits, tea, coffee, and fruit. Blackwater diving in Anilao in particular is a must-do. For more experienced divers, it offers the chance to encounter some of the strangest and most spectacular juvenile species and nocturnal feeders, drawn in by specialised lights suspended over deep water. Solitude Acacia Resort's experienced dive guides actively document and track marine life activity to stay updated on where certain species are being spotted, though guests should keep in mind that nature is unpredictable and encounters can never be guaranteed. Before every dive, guests receive a detailed briefing from one of the resort's dive guides, either at the Dive Centre by the pool or directly at the dive site from the boat. Divers with specific interests or photo goals are encouraged to share them with their guide, who will do their best to help, while also keeping the experience open to the excitement of unexpected discoveries. Diving from Solitude Acacia takes place from traditional bangka-style boats, which are stable in the water and ideal for cruising dive sites along the coastline. For a local supplement, divers can also explore the reefs of nearby Maricaban Island - well worth including during the trip. At the Dive Centre, the team upholds the highest safety standards that Solitude Liveaboards and Resorts are known for. Courses are conducted on-site, making full use of the surrounding calm, shallow waters as well as nearby open-water areas. Solitude Acacia Resort is proud to be an official Avelo Dive Centre, offering guests the opportunity to experience a revolutionary way of diving in Anilao. Here, you can complete your Avelo certification and enjoy the benefits of lighter gear, effortless buoyancy, and extended dive times: all within one of the Philippines' best-loved macro diving destinations.
