Scuba Diving Apo Reef Natural Park in Occidental Mindoro with Pentagon Dive Center Sablayan.
Apo Reef in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro is considered to be one of the best dive locations in the Philippines. It is a marine protected area encompassing 34 square kilometers! It is the largest atoll-like reef in the Philippines and second largest in the world next to Australia's Great Barrier Reef! I still remember the first time I went scuba diving here back in 2014 and seeing a big school of bumphead parrot fishes for the first time. Although I didn't see that many parrot fishes this time around, Apo Reef delivers with tons of sharks, turtles and barracudas! Apo Reef can be visited for a day taking a 2 hour boat ride from Sablayan town itself. I opted to join a dive group for a 3 days, 2 nights trip to Apo Reef instead as I remember my first visit to be too short. We camped in Apo Reef Island where there is no signal and electricity is only from 6PM to 6AM. Perfect for those who want a social media detox! It is important to note that there is another Apo Island in the Philippines. That other Apo Island is located in Dumaguete and offers amazing diving as well! 📌 Apo Reef Diving and Travel Guide 👉 https://www.diverbliss.com/scuba-diving-in-apo-reef-philippines/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Location: Apo Reef Natural Park Dive Shop: Pentagon Dive Center Sablayan ------------------------------------------------------------ 🎥 Underwater Camera and Accessories I use: Canon G7X MII- https://amzn.to/3d22aMh
