Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Dilumacad offers some of Apo Reef's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Dilumacad offers a drift dive along a sloping wall, usually with a moderate current pushing you along. You'll often spot whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom here, and we've seen schools of snapper and fusiliers moving through the blue. It’s a straightforward dive, good for those comfortable with a bit of current but nothing too challenging.
