    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Agpanabat Sanctuary sits on the eastern side of Apo Reef, offering a sloping coral reef. You'll drift past large coral formations and schools of reef fish. It’s a nice, relaxed dive, good for photographers or those looking for an easier current. We often find turtles here, just cruising along the reef edge.
