Layag Layag

Steep but shallow reef with extensive coral formations, rocks, and boulders sloping to sand and crushed corals, with a ledge drop to ~27–30m on the south side where big jacks swim to within a few feet of the surface. Famous for the most abundant variety of nudibranchs in Anilao. Pygmy seahorses on fan corals (divers have found 3+ on a single fan). Red-tooth triggerfish, squids, turtles, sea snakes, octopus, Spanish dancers, tunas, jacks, batfish, and occasional sharks. Recent accounts note visible surface trash in the water — an ongoing conservation concern.
