Reef diving & Drift
Apo Island diving
Apo Island is known for its coral reefs and the marine life they support. From Dauin, we organise boat trips to explore this setting and combine it with macro diving along the Negros coast. Reef fish, coral gardens and turtles are part of its appeal.
A day at Apo offers an underwater landscape different from Dauin’s. We select dive sites according to the group’s experience and sea conditions, with time on board to rest and have lunch between dives. The trip for certified divers includes three dives; we also offer introductory experiences with an instructor.
