Galeon Point

We rate Galeon Point as a standout for a reason. It’s got that classic Apo Reef vibe, but with a few extras that really make it special. The sheer number of reef fish here is what always grabs us, and not just the usual suspects. You’ll find schools of Black-back Butterflyfish and Red Snout Emperors hanging out, thick in the water column. We often see solitary Boomerang Triggerfish eyeing us, and there’s a consistent presence of those colourful Coral Beauties tucked into the crevices. What we love most about Galeon Point is its reliability. Even on days when other sites feel a bit sleepy, this one delivers. Look closely among the corals, and you’ll spot those tiny Bugeye Dottybacks darting around. The reef profile here offers plenty of nooks and crannies to explore, making it a great site for divers who like to take their time and really observe. If you’re into macro, keep an eye out for Dusky Blennies popping up from their holes. It’s a site that rewards patience, often revealing a Redface Eel or a shy Slender Maori Wrasse if you just hang back and watch. Dive this one in the morning for the best light, when the sun really brings out the colours of the Acropora Butterflyfish.
