Apo Reef Dive Site — Philippines

About Apo Reef

The second-largest contiguous coral reef system in the world, located in the remote Mindoro Strait. Pristine wall diving with spectacular drop-offs, grey reef sharks, whitetip sharks, and vast gardens of staghorn and table coral. Only accessible by liveaboard or long boat ride from Sablayan, adding to its untouched, frontier character.
