    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    West Entalula generally delivers a gentle drift along a sloping reef, making it a good choice for newer divers in Apo Reef. We’ve often found schools of trevally circling in the blue, and the occasional whitetip reef shark patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a relaxed dive, good for taking your time and spotting macro life amongst the corals.
