    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Sea Quest wreck at Apo Reef is a good spot for a relaxed dive. This 31-meter yacht, which ran aground and sank back in '84, now sits upright in a sandy patch at about 10 meters. It’s an easy entry for new wreck divers, or a nice second dive if you’ve been on the wall. You can swim around the deck and peer into the empty cabins, which are now home to schools of snapper and the occasional lionfish. The coral growth isn't overwhelming, but you'll see a lot of small reef fish darting in and out of the hull. It’s a good little piece of history to explore.
