Mimaropa
Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Mimaropa offers some of Apo Reef's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Mimaropa, within the expansive Apo Reef system, feels gloriously isolated. We’ve drifted this channel many times, usually finding a moderate current that’s perfect for a lazy pass. Look for the massive table corals clinging to the walls, punctuated by barrel sponges big enough to hide a diver. We often spot grey reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections and barracuda schools hanging motionless in the blue. It’s a site that rewards patience and a good drift, suited for divers comfortable in open water.
