Altamare Dive & Leisure Resort Anilao

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Philippine Diving

Tucked away in the stunning coastal town of Anilao, Batangas, Altamare Dive & Leisure Resort is the ultimate playground for underwater adventurers and sun-seekers alike. Known as the birthplace of scuba diving in the Philippines, Anilao boasts some of the most biodiverse waters on the planet—and Altamare puts guests right in the middle of the action.

Whether visitors are seasoned divers chasing elusive nudibranchs or first-timers eager to take their very first breath underwater, this boutique resort delivers an experience that’s equal parts thrilling and relaxing.

Dive Into World-Class Waters

Anilao isn’t called the “Muck Diving Capital of the Philippines” for nothing. The waters surrounding Altamare are teeming with incredible marine life—from colorful coral gardens to rare critters that make underwater photographers lose their minds with excitement. Think frogfish, flamboyant cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopuses, and more nudibranch species than anyone can count.

Altamare’s dive center is fully equipped and staffed by passionate professionals who know these waters like the back of their hands. They offer:

• Discover Scuba Diving courses for curious beginners
• PADI certification programs for those ready to commit to the diving life
• Guided dive trips to Anilao’s legendary sites like Beatrice Rock, Twin Rocks, and Secret Bay

The resort’s boats depart right from the property, meaning less travel time and more time exploring the underwater wonderland.

More Than Just Diving

While diving is undoubtedly the star of the show, Altamare has plenty to offer non-divers and adventure-seekers looking to mix things up. Guests can snorkel in the crystal-clear shallows, kayak along the coastline, or simply lounge by the water and soak in the tropical vibes.

It’s the kind of place where time slows down, the ocean air works its magic, and every moment feels like a mini-vacation within a vacation.

The Altamare Experience

What sets Altamare apart isn’t just its prime location or excellent diving—it’s the warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps guests coming back year after year. The staff treats every visitor like family, going above and beyond to ensure each stay is unforgettable.

For anyone dreaming of underwater adventures, beachside bliss, and memories that last a lifetime, Altamare Dive & Leisure Resort is calling. The only question is: when’s the next flight to Batangas?
