Guindauahan Island
Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Guindauahan Island offers some of Apo Reef's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Guindauahan Island offers a solid Apo Reef dive, often feeling a bit more sheltered than some of the outer walls. The reef slopes from about 5m down to 30m, giving you a good range to explore. We’ve seen a decent number of green sea turtles here, usually munching on seagrass or resting under ledges, and reef sharks tend to cruise by on the deeper sections. It’s a good spot for a relaxed drift, especially if the currents elsewhere are picking up.
