Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Balinghai Wall offers some of Apo Reef's richest wall diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Balinghai Wall sits on the eastern side of Apo Reef, a consistent intermediate dive for us. It’s a straightforward wall, dropping to about 20 meters, making it a good choice for those comfortable with a bit of depth without being overly challenging. We often find schooling fusiliers here, sometimes so dense they create a shimmering curtain against the blue. Look closely at the wall itself; there are usually a few nudibranchs tucked into the crevices and whip corals. It’s a nice drift when the current picks up, letting you relax and just watch the reef pass by.
