Apo Island

If you dive Coron on a liveaboard, you'll almost certainly see Apo Reef, the world's second-longest contiguous reef (after the Great Barrier Reef). Colorful coralscapes, a variety of reef sharks, and schools of pelagic fish may all be found in Apo Reef, which is not to be mistaken with Apo Island.

If you like swimming with turtles, go to Apo Island, which has some amazing hard corals and turtles that graze and swim around incessantly.

Currently, there are approximately 650 identified fish species on the island, as well as around 400 coral species. Here you will find the majority of the Philippines' 450 coral species. One of the top 100 dive sites in the world is located here.
