    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Origon Rocks offers a rugged, rocky landscape, a bit different from Apo Reef's typical wall dives. You'll navigate around large boulders, checking crevices for moray eels and the occasional reef shark cruising by. It’s a good spot for divers who appreciate a more textural dive, looking for critters tucked into the rocks rather than wide open reef scenes. Best on a calm day, as currents can pick up.
