Anilao Scuba Dive Center Resort

It’s a simple place made for divers and backpackers who mainly need somewhere to dive and rest, not a luxury hotel. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the people are warm and welcoming. The divers are skilled, too, so it’s a good budget option for a nice diving experience. Highly recommended if you’re watching your spending.

ASDC is a dive resort, but what I’ll remember most is how the team cared for me during a frightening medical emergency. In the middle of the night, while I was somewhere unfamiliar, they calmly arranged transport and took me between hospitals so I could get the medical attention I needed. Gina and Shala were especially kind and patient. They stayed with me, reassured me, and made sure I wasn’t left alone or unsure what was happening. Their support felt like real compassion, not just a job. I’m deeply grateful to everyone at Anilao Scuba Dive Center (ASDC). Their responsibility and care for guests as people say a lot about the team’s values. I’ll always remember that they stood by me when it mattered, and I recommend the center for its people and genuine care as well as the diving. Muthu Thangaraj

Everything felt easy and relaxed at Anilao Scuba Dive Center. It’s a small, cute family-run center right by the water, and it was welcoming, friendly, and well organized. We had such a lovely time diving there. Thanks to the whole team for being so kind and hospitable. Highly recommended.

They’re upfront that this is a budget place, not a five-star dive center. Still, the team knows the area and diving well, and they’re extremely friendly. The guides were amazing and pointed out lots of interesting things. I’d strongly recommend giving them a visit.
