Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Coral Garden offers some of Apo Reef's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Coral Garden at Apo Reef delivers exactly what its name suggests: a sprawling, shallow expanse of hard and soft corals. It's an easy drift dive, often with gentle currents, making it a great spot for those looking for a relaxed experience or to extend their bottom time. We've often seen turtles here, along with the usual reef fish navigating the coral bommies. It’s a solid choice for a second or third dive of the day.
