Biet Point - Apo Reef

Biet Point often feels like an old friend's living room, comfortable and full of little surprises. We usually drop in close to the wall, letting the reef unfold as we drift. You'll find a healthy mix of corals and sponges here, not the huge stuff you see at some Apo sites, but a really intricate tapestry that’s home to plenty of smaller residents. Look for the Hayashi's cardinalfish tucked into crevices and the occasional rosy frogfish trying its best impersonation of a sponge. It’s a gentle dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who likes to take their time exploring the smaller details rather than chasing big pelagics.
