Welcome to Anilao
The Capital of Macro Magic
Welcome to Anilao, the vibrant heart of the Philippines’ diving scene and one of the most celebrated macro photography destinations in the world.
From flamboyant cuttlefish and rhinopias to blue-ringed octopus, mandarinfish, and rare nudibranchs, the diversity here is exceptional. With skilled local spotters and patient diving, even the tiniest subjects become unforgettable encounters.
A true paradise for macro lovers and underwater photographers.

Crafted for Macro Lovers
What makes Anilao truly exceptional?
Anilao is built for photographers. Its dive guides are among Asia’s best spotters — patient, detail-focused, and experts in critter behavior. Every dive is a collaborative search for rare and unusual subjects.
Slow down. Observe closely. Shoot with intention.
In Anilao, every dive is a discovery.
Blackwater Diving
A World Apart
After dark, Anilao transforms.
Drift in open water as plankton rise and pelagic life follows — from Paper Nautilus and Blanket Octopus to pelagic seahorses, larval fish, jellyfish, and long salp chains.
Led by experienced blackwater specialists using local knowledge and precise timing, each dive is unique, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

Founder's Note
Hello, I am Nishi and I’m a SCUBA diver, freediver, and entrepreneur. I used to be a data scientist but the call of Mother Ocean is bigger than us all. Few key life events and hours of introspection led me to quit the corporate world and I found myself sitting on the beach with a life jacket (yes, I did not know how to swim back then)! Over the last few years I’ve been grateful to have the opportunity to launch and grow our Maldives vertical, Mad over Maldives. Me and my team are humbled by the love and support we’ve received from our wonderful customers. Oceaon is now expanding boundaries and I am elated to host you in iconic dive destinations across the world.
