1. Anilao, Batangas

The macro capital of Luzon, Anilao is world-famous for its incredible critter diversity. Ideal for muck diving and blackwater photography, it’s a haven for nudibranchs, frogfish, rhinopias, and rare shrimps—just a few hours from Manila.

2. Dauin, Negros Oriental

Renowned for its volcanic black sand and healthy reef-slope ecosystems, Dauin is a macro photographer’s paradise. You’ll spot mimic octopus, flamboyant cuttlefish, pipefish, and a variety of seahorses—often right on shore dives.

3. Southern Leyte

A lesser-known gem with pristine conditions and fewer crowds, Southern Leyte offers surprising macro life in healthy hard coral gardens. Expect ghost pipefish, ornate ghost shrimp, pygmy seahorses, and the occasional blue-ringed octopus.
