Shark Ridge

Shark Ridge, off the northwestern edge of Apo’s main plateau, is where we head when we’re feeling lucky. It's a sloping reef, dropping to 30 metres, with these inviting sandy patches where whitetip and blacktip reef sharks love to snooze. We’ve hovered there more times than we can count, just watching them. Our favourite way to dive it is early morning, currents permitting, before the sun gets too high – you often catch the sharks still a bit sluggish. Visibility here is usually excellent, giving you a proper wide-angle view of the reef's residents. Beyond the sharks, we always keep an eye out for eagle rays gliding past, and the flash of giant trevallies hunting in the blue. We've even been lucky enough to spot the unmistakable silhouette of a hammerhead in the deeper water, though that’s definitely a bonus. It’s a site that rewards patience and a good eye, perfect for divers who appreciate a reliable chance at larger pelagics in a relaxed drift.
