Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Dive site offers some of Apo Reef's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Apo Reef, as a whole, is one of those places that feels wild, and this particular site delivers that rough-around-the-edges charm. You’ll find a solid cross-section of reef residents here, with plenty of Green-blotched Parrotfish munching away and the occasional flash of a Blue-spotted Stingray. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, like the Lined Monocle Bream cruising past. We’ve had some cracking dives with good visibility, making it a decent spot for divers comfortable with open water, though it's not always the most dramatic wall. It's a reliable dive that often feels less crowded than some of the more famous spots around the reef.
