APO ISLAND
There are several dive sites around Apo island ranging between 10 and 50 m. These site are the best as far as corals are concerned. Huge table corals, stag horns, brain corals, fire corals and a huge variety of soft corals can be found all around the island. The northern, eastern an southern side consist of sheer drops with many pelagics and turtles, in recent years Hammerhead sharks and Manta rays are encountered more and more frequently. Even Whalesharks can be spotted once in a while. Currents can be unpredictable and make the northern dive site difficult for beginners. The western side is rather a slope than a drop-off which makes it more easy for less experienced divers. Apo reef has been declared a marine park and there is a turtle sanctuary and a ranger station on Apo island.

ALADIN
Depth between 10 – 40 meters. Wall dive on the North East side of Apo Island.
Recommended in the morning when the sun illuminates the wall and the corals on the plateau at around 10 meters.

EGO WALL
Depths between 15 – 40 meters. Sheer drop-off and deep wall at the northern Fip of Apo Island. When there is current this is an advanced but rewarding divesite with lots of pelagics to be seen. The corals oe plateau

SOUTH EAST CORNER
Depth between 15 – 40 meters. The southern tip of Apo Island offers some of the best coral gardens in the Philippines. The shapes and colors of the various species of soft and hard corals are breathtaking.

MABUTI
Depth between 12 – 40 meters. This divesite located on the south east side of Apo Island is recommended in the afternoon when the wall is illumnated be the sun. This is also the site for the schools of bumphead parrotfish. The corals at the end of the dive are some of the best to be found on Apo Reef.

MENOR ISLAND (Shark Airport)
Depth between 15 -35 meters. This dievsite on the westside of Menor Island is know for its resting sharks on the plateau at around 35 meters. While the corals are not as colorful as around Apo Island this divesight offers a good chance to spot different reef sharks.

SHARK RIDGE

Guidelines for Diving

We offer two guided dives daily at 9:30 and 14:30.

Please inform the dive staff at least 1hour before your planned dive. Night dives need to be planned until noon and are at 18:00 with guide, or later, without.

On request, advanced divers (buddy groups) with more than 50 logged dives each and who dove with us already, may go on beach dives independently. Please consult our dive masters.

Please be reminded of the following:

  • All certified divers are responsible for their own safety and dive profiles (including guided dives), following dive tables and/or computers.
    Safety stops are mandatory (5m, 3mins) on ALL DIVES.
  • Divers who have not been diving for 12 months are required to do a refresher course with an instructor or divemaster.
  • All divers are required to use a full set of SCUBA GEAR, including an alternative air source.
  • Divers on Non-limit Diving packages or dive safaris please ask dive staff for dive computer rental.
  • Reserve starts at 50 BAR (750 psi), time for your ascent!! However, we do like you to make the most of your dive; provided you are not alone, you can still enjoy the coral gardens no deeper then 6m. Do surface with at least 30 BAR (450psi) tank pressure !!!
  • Always remain close to your buddy, even on guided dives. If you loose your buddy during the dive inform your diveguide as soon as possible.
  • Do a weight-check at the end of your 1st dive so you can enjoy the following ones with as little weight as necessary ;-)) All Divers are encouraged to do a fundive around Pandan Island before they join a trip to dive Apo Reef. This gives us a chance to assess the divers’ skills, make sure they have well fitting equipment and are properly weighted (more then 50% of the divers carry too much lead !). The purpose is to avoid dangerous situations (uncontrolled descents/ascents or group separations) in case difficult situations like waves or currents arise out on the reef, which can spoil the day for you and the whole group.
