Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles, sperm whales, lionfish and pufferfish - Prado Point offers some of Apo Reef's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Prado Point feels like a good, solid dive without too much fuss. We've often found ourselves drifting along here, keeping an eye out for the smaller stuff that makes a reef interesting. You'll likely spot a few Horned Squirrelfish tucked into crevices and the occasional Blue-lined Tang darting about. Keep an eye on the open water for Hound Needlefish cruising by. It’s a pleasant dive, generally quite relaxed, making it a good choice for newer divers looking to build confidence or anyone wanting an easygoing exploration.
