    Lobster Rock, a part of Apo Reef, is exactly what it sounds like. We’ve found the rocky crevices here are ideal for spotting a variety of lobsters tucking themselves into the nooks and crannies. It's a straightforward dive, well-suited for a relaxed second or third tank when you're keen to slow down and really look for the smaller, shyer residents. If you enjoy macro life and taking your time, this site delivers.
