Apo Reef – Diving in the Philippines 2016

32 42



Scuba Diving video from my trip to the philipines. Apo reef is a large atoll in the middle of the sea between the islands of Coron (busuanga) and Mindoro. It takes about 6 hours and is only accessible from live-aboard dive cruises.

Fantastic Reefs and drop-offs and the most amount of large marine life i saw in one place during the dive trip to the philipines. Large fish and large schools of fish everywhere. Unfortunately Typhoon Yolanda seriously damaged the reef in 2013 and will take hundreds of years to recover fully. But this is a dive site that should not be missed!

Please view my blog for How to get to Apo Reef & more info on this location and to explore others diving locations in the Philippines

Enjoy

    YOu moron or what? Apo reef is a reef not one tiny atoll. Backpackers brain. Your video didnt show anything special about Apo Reeef, great viz and drop offs, you are a retard! Also day trips are possible and available for Apo Reef as well, not only liveaboards as you claim. Idiot.

    Wrong description. Apo Reef is a few small atolls and a large reef. Its accessible in 2,5 to 3 hours from Sablayan, Mindoro Occidental and not only on live aboard cruises. You blog must suck big time. Especially if its a Pilipino blog.

    Absolutely breathtaking! I'm planning my trip to the Philippines next month and I'd love to dive Apo reef. May I ask what dive operator you used and what's the best way to get to the reef? I don't have a fixed schedule yet, only booked a flight to Puerto Princesa. Will stay in Palawan for 2 weeks.
