Apo Reef

Apo Reef, the Philippines' second-largest atoll reef, is a must-see for scuba divers. While the majority of the reefs are buried, three islands stand out: Apo Island, Apo Menor, and Cayos del Bajo.

This 34-kilometer reef is divided into two lagoon systems by a small canal that runs east to west (north and south). This area has become much more accessible and convenient to explore because to the introduction of liveaboard cruises. Thus, this destination is among the best Dive Sites in the Philippines

Shark Ridge is known for its black and whitetip reef sharks, as well as the numerous shallow caverns where eels, lobsters, and giant groupers can be found.

Apo 29 is also a famous spot for thresher sharks, hammerhead sharks, and other large reef sharks due to its rapid currents.

• Highlights: Apart from the stunning beaches, you are also bound to see large schools of pelagic fish like barracuda and groupers. You will also see a varied species of sharks and manta rays.
