New Wave Divers

New Wave Divers, out in Apo Reef, is one of those sites that just feels right from the moment you roll in. It’s got a steady current most days, which means less effort and more gliding. We love drifting along the wall here, keeping an eye out for the big stuff that often cruises by in the blue. The wall itself is a tapestry of corals, the Star Corals particularly striking, and it’s a good place to spot more unusual macro critters if you slow down a bit. We’ve had great luck finding Two-toned Pygmy Squids clinging to the sponges, and the colourful Bicolor Nudibranchs are practically posing for photos. Keep an eye peeled for the Porous Cowry, they're surprisingly tricky to spot despite their size. We often find the Gilbert's Synaphobranchid Eels tucked into the crevices, their heads just peeking out. This site really suits divers who appreciate a good drift and enjoy finding the smaller, less common species, but don't mind a bit of a current to get there.
