Ariara House Reef
Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Ariara House Reef offers some of Apo Reef's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
The Ariara House Reef offers easy diving, perfect for a relaxed afternoon. We’ve found decent patches of hard corals here, along with the usual reef fish darting between them. It’s a good spot for a checkout dive or for macro enthusiasts who enjoy a slow hunt for smaller critters. Not the main event at Apo Reef, but a solid option when you want something close to shore.
