Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Laguna Reef (Laguna de Boracay) offers some of Apo Reef's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Laguna Reef, sometimes called Laguna de Boracay by the local crews, is a shallower spot, topping out at about 15 metres. It’s a good choice for newer divers getting comfortable or for those just wanting a relaxed, longer bottom time. We’ve found it’s a calm place to spot smaller reef fish, the kind that duck in and out of the corals, and on a good day, you might find a turtle munching away. It won't blow your mind with huge pelagics, but it's a pleasant, easy dive.
