Join us this trip for an amazing 9 days of diving in the Philippines, consisting of 2 nights at the Atlantis Resort in Puerto Galera. Followed by 7 days of diving aboard the Azores Liveaboard to Corran and Apo Reef.
Puerto Galera is well known for its numerous scuba diving spots. The area was designated a Man and Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO in 1973 and has some of the most diverse coral reef diving in Asia located at the very heart of the Coral Triangle.
What to know about the diving
Tubbataha is a true gem. One day we had a whale shark, too many white tips, black tips and grey reef sharks to count them and topping it, a manta. That same day other divers even saw a tiger shark!
The Apo Reef, also considered as the second largest atoll-like reef in the Philippines comprises of two isolated coral reefs that are disconnected by a 30-meter deep channel. The clear blue waters of the channel are teeming with 285 species of colorful marine life, including tropical aquarium fish, snappers, and the crevice-dwelling moray.
It is one best dive spots in the world, attracting hordes of divers all the year round. The soft white sand and patches of fine corals, clearly visible through the crystal blue waters, is truly an entrancing sight to behold!
The Reef and the vast expansive waters around are protected areas in the Philippines, administered as the Apo Reef Natural Park (ARNP). The National Park is located 33 kilometers (approximately) off the coast of Sablayan in the Occidental Mindoro province.
