Diving at Apo Reef

The marine sanctuary of Apo Reef is a 34 Kilometer Reef with stunning drop-offs and wonderful coral gardens. It is divided by a channel which runs from the east to the west. Whether you go there via live-abroad for a few days from Puerto Galera or Coron or decide to take the 3-hour Bangka-ride when staying on Pandan Island for your dive Holiday, you should not miss out on that opportunity if there is any option to visit the Apo Reef Marine Park.

The northern part of the reef is mainly shallow and barley goes below 10 meter and even scratches the surface at low-tide. The southern part of Apo Reef is a bit deeper and goes down to 30 meters. The picturesque landscape and the clear waters make this stunning dive spot to an all-time favorite for diving in the Philippines. Most photographers have problems to decide if they go for Macro or wide angle. Whatever your decision is, you certainly want to go Enriched Air/Nitrox to spend some more time in this wonderful underwater world of Apo Reef.
