    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cyc Beach is a straightforward shore dive on Apo Island, ideal for beginners or those getting back in the water. The reef runs down to about 17m, a gentle slope of hard and soft corals. It's a relaxed spot for spotting smaller reef fish, nudibranchs, and a good chance for sea turtles cruising past. A solid choice for an easy afternoon dive.
