7 Islands Reef, Diving (NDC)

Seven Islands Reef at Apo is one of those sites we always try to hit, especially if we’re feeling a bit adventurous. It’s not just a gentle drift, this place has character. We’ve had dives here where the current really picked up, zipping us past schools of fusiliers so thick they momentarily blot out the sun. Keep an eye out for those big Oriental maori wrasse, they’re almost always cruising around the deeper sections, and if you’re lucky, a flash of blue from a Blue-finned Rock Cod ducking into a crevice. We love the slightly chaotic energy here. It’s not a site for absolute beginners if the current is running, but for experienced divers who enjoy a bit of movement, it’s a real treat. We’ve found some quirky stuff tucked away in the corals, like the Rosy Frogfish, perfectly camouflaged, almost invisible until you’re right on top of it. It’s a site that rewards a slow, observant pass, even with the current pushing you along.
