Magic Oceans Resort, Anda

The diving in Anda reflects the area's peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, and is focused on the reef running along the coast from Anda to Guindulman, and around 30 varied dive sites – many less than a 10-minute boat ride from most resorts. Local sites incorporate sandy slopes, mangroves, reefs, small caves, and walls full of marine life, as well as the nearby islands of Lamanok and Camiguin which can often be visited by day-trips. With such a rich diversity of dive sites, perfectly suited to all experience levels, Anda provides the perfect getaway for every type of diver.

Anda is a haven for macro-lovers, playing host to a kaleidoscope of bucket-list critters such as pygmy seahorses, blue-ringed octopus, hairy frogfish, tiger shrimp, mimic octopus, and over 200 species of nudibranchs. While many of the sites around Anda offer their fair share of macro-life, there are several specific muck-diving sites such as Pogaling, Basdio Sanctuary, Secret Place, Suba Sanctuary, and Larry’s Corner. For guests visiting at the right time of year, Anda also offers its fair share of bigger species which frequent its many coral gardens, slopes and walls. As well as the ever-present sea turtles, possible encounters with larger species include big schools of jackfish, passing whale sharks, and even occasional manta rays.
