Kanto Pating
Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Kanto Pating offers some of Apo Reef's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Kanto Pating, or 'Shark Corner,' delivers on its name. We often find grey reef sharks patrolling the reef edge, especially in the early mornings. It's a wall dive, with the reef dropping away into the blue. Best for experienced divers comfortable with potential currents and deeper profiles, as the main action happens further down.
