Oh, but you have just scratched the surface of Anilao. Here are a few samples from my (fairly limited; I only spent four days there) archive:

Very nice collection, indeed.

I assume you're using autofocus.  My 90mm macro hunts quite a lot, even with the range switch set to the shortest.  So, I've given that up in favor of manual focus and the "rocking focus" method described by others.  Luckily, the Seafrogs housing allows for use of a focus gear which lets me use the lens in long range "portrait" mode.

I took my shots mostly at Moalboal, Cebu which isn't doing that well after the typhoon.  In fact, I was the only diver at the resort.  That was after 10 days at Dauin.

Now thinking about either Anilao or Lembeh, and as this could be one of my last trips, am at a decision point as to which would be best.
