Apo Island
Not only is it the stunning rock formations, white sands and luscious greenery that should attract you to Apo Island, but also its incredible diving spots. Just off the coast of Negros Oriental, this protected diving destination is home to 650 marine species and over 400 species of coral. You’ll really have to see it to believe the depth and color of this underwater Eden. Be sure to swim down to Baluarte’s volcanic spot where you’ll discover bubbles erupting from the sand, and head over to Rock Point West for Giant Turtle encounters.
Anilao – Cathedral rock
Just a two hour drive from Manila and you’ve entered a diver’s paradise. Cathedral Rock is one of the most talked about diving spots in the Philippines and we can see why. Thousands of colorful fish species envelop the coral as you dive down into the roofless rocky cave. Here you can see the magnificent parrot fish swim along with its neon pink scales amongst the famously placed cross, marking the birth of this beautiful reef. This marine hotspot can be enjoyed by divers of all levels, and for those feeling a little adventurous, Cathedral Rock also offers enchanting night scene diving.
