Biet Point - Apo Reef

Biet Point serves up a solid wall dive on Apo Reef. We typically drop onto the reef top, around 5-7 metres, before drifting along the edge as it slopes down into deeper water. You’ll find some robust coral formations here, with plenty of nooks and crannies for things like Threadfin Reefgobies and Pale Dwarfgobies. Keep an eye out for the resident yellow-spotted trevally patrolling the blue, and we’ve often spotted cuttlefish doing their camouflage thing amongst the sponges. It’s a good spot for a relaxed drift, not usually too much current to contend with, making it suitable for newer advanced divers looking to take in the reef’s expanse.
