Address: Apo Island
The diving is outstanding because there are so many big fish compared to other dive sites. You can expect to see things like:
Trevally, Jacks, Barracuda, Bumpheaded parrotfish, turtles, seasnakes, garden eels and loads of small stuff! The only thing missing is a shark now and then.
All dive sites are around the island - a 5 minute boatride (well, banca ride) and you're ready to jump in.
I dived with Paul's diving and all divemasters had 100+ dives on the 8-12 dive sites - so they know the water! The price per dive is fair - a part of the money goes to marine protection work. And the more you dive the cheaper it is per dive.
Equipment: If you have your own gear - bring it! Otherwise you just have to rent it, but I would have died of hypothermia in their wetsuits!
