The
Apo Island
Apo
Island, a small and pristine island that offers fantastic snorkelling
and some of the best diving in the Philippines. This Island has
some lovely and scenic view with a magnificent and good assorment
of dive sites. Stunning and outstanding hard and soft corals are
all around and enormous table corals, stag horns, brain corals
and fire corals can be seen. You will also encounter lovely beaches
and a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere, as no automobiles are allowed
on the island. The waters around Apo Island are calm due to the
unique coral formations that also attract an array of marine life,
making this an ideal diving location.
Big
drop-offs and spectacular walls are in the southern, northern
and eastern side of the island. Unique, exotic and enchanting
marine life species can be experienced when the currents are strong
because a variety of large pelagic species are attracted all around
the island. Stunning Marine life will be encountered such as large
pelagics, including tuna, big-eyed jacks, humphead wrasses, hammerheads,
and mantas.
This
island is considered to be part of the jurisdiction of the town
of Dauin, Negros Oriental. Its pride is its fantastic rock formations
scattered over the terrain, a protected marine reserve, magnificent
white sands and a relatively virgin endowment of natural marine
resources. It listed six-hundred-and-fifty documented fish species
and four-hundred types of marine corals.
Apo
Island is one of the top ten dive sites in the country and around
the world. You can opt for a one-day adventure or stay nights
at nearby hotels and beach resorts, some of which are the Liberty’s
Lodge or Apo Island Beach Resort.
Life
in this island is said to have its own pace. Perhaps this is where
time has stood still -- in the primitive and wild beauty that
it is most well-known for. You can snorkel, scuba or deep sea
dive in as much as 15 pre identified points around the island.
Other activities include island boat rides, treks and bike rides.
This
island is sure to fascinate every diver’s and vacationists’
imagination – from the unique aquatic habitat and its dwellers,
the rustic view of an old lighthouse, the image of a sunset tinting
the sky with pink to the magical feel of white sand on your toes
while having a cool drink on a night of the full moon.
