Apo Reef - Diving in the Philippines

- Scuba Diving video from my trip to the philipines. Apo reef is a large atoll with a few islands in the middle of the sea between the islands of Coron (busuanga) and Mindoro. It takes about 6 hours (at least on the boat I took) and is only accessible from live-aboard dive cruises.
Fantastic Reefs and drop-offs and the most amount of large marine life i saw in one place during the dive trip to the philipines. Large fish and large schools of fish everywhere. Unfortunately Typhoon Yolanda seriously damaged the reef in 2013 and will take hundreds of years to recover fully. But this is a dive site that should not be missed!
Please view my blog for How to get to Apo Reef & more info on this location and to explore others diving locations in the Philippines

I’m a scuba divers also and I’ve been in apo island many times it’s really beautiful and worth it , was on Mike beach resort in Dauin and I also went to Sipalay there’s a lot of frog fish and etc huge

Absolutely breathtaking! I'm planning my trip to the Philippines next month and I'd love to dive Apo reef. May I ask what dive operator you used and what's the best way to get to the reef? I don't have a fixed schedule yet, only booked a flight to Puerto Princesa. Will stay in Palawan for 2 weeks.
SPECTACULAR!!!

+Dan Alday yes this truly is an amazing five site. The best I have visited in the Philippines for reef & reef fishes.. (It's not good for macro)
Have you been to Coron? It is the worlds best wreck diving destination - please wait another few hours and I'll send you the link to my newest video..
Thanks for subscribing
+Adventure Backpacking, I have never been to Coron. I am flying to the Philippines in two weeks and planning to go to Coron and Bohol. I just need to find my missing PADI card so I can dive there.
you don't need the PADI card to dive. Dive centres can check your status online now.. If you go to bohol be sure to dive at Balicasag island (off the coast of Panglao/Alona Beach) this was fantastic diving..
awesome video!
Great Video!
So beautiful
APO REEF holds the title as the largest atol reef in the world!
The Great Barrier is
Amazing!
Thank you
i diving in Apo the day before yesterday，but i cant saw much fish in the sea, i think we need to protect the sea , protect the world！
it was damage by super typhoon YOLANDA, as the corals are used by marine life as habitats.so lesser fish are found.
Perhaps you’re thinking apo island? That one had no fish.. apo reef was between mindoro and busuwanga, Coron. I also dived just after Yolanda and this video shows it all..
Next time? "Tubbataha Reef" The Divers Paradise! try it..Satisfaction Guaranteed!..
Yes I would love to go there! Next year I will go if I can make it in time for the season.. Have you been there?
Yes! one of the healthiest reefs in the world.The Philippines Natural Park.. World Heritage Site i'ts a Protected Area...it truly is a divers paradise..
+Kriss K I'll check it out
IndoWild looking forward to see ur tubattaha dive videos.
Beautiful footage and great video quality! May I ask what equipment you use to shoot this?
Yes. It was Sony HX20v with ikelite housing. Manual white balance and ikelite red filter
+Vincent Martinez - I was using Sony HX20v with ikelite housing. Quality is good because the visibility was amazing on these dives!
verde island in batangas philippines is the center of marine biodiversity in the world
Wow
Thanks
nice
which is cheaper live aboard for the money. is it worth the extra for tubba over apo
What camera did you use on filming underwater?
what kind of underwater video equipment did u use ? such a nice bright images
u made
i been there too however my video is not as good u have here
awesome vid.
what did you use to capture the video? gopro? did you use a red filter or colour adjust post shooting? what frame rate would you have take this at?
sorry for all the questions.
thanks!
Did you use filters underwater? What colour? Red?
No filter ~ just stay shallow, good white balance and pray the visibility is good
Amazing underwater world! How deep is the reef there?
Think it’s quite shallow. Mostly around 20-30 meters. Hence the good colours
Saan po ang Apo Reef?
It’s between Mindoro and busuwanga islands (Coron)
Apo Reef or Raja Ampat?
This is apo reef in the Philippines
Are you Indonesian?
No I am British
Camera and light set-up please?
It’s a Sony RX100 no lights as the viz was great and it’s mostly shallow
Good day I'm Gift you have a terrific shot of this reef, may I use some parts of this for my video 'Top 8 Best Philippine Coral Reefs?' I'm an eco Tourism Channel, thanks a lot my vid comes with your full credits! Done Lik.. and Su...b.ng

National Museum of the Philippines, with the help of Living Asia Channel, is in the process of creating a Marine Gallery set to be built this 2017. There are sets of modules in the gallery that require audio-video footage from the shallow to deep part of the ocean.

I saw this video and I’m humbly asking for your consent to have the raw copies and let us use the footage for the aforementioned program. We will highly appreciate it should you allow us to use any.

Wrong description. Apo Reef is a few small atolls and a large reef. Its accessible in 2,5 to 3 hours from Sablayan, Mindoro Occidental and not only on live aboard cruises. You blog must suck big time. Especially if its a Pilipino blog.
Not sure I know any day trips going there.. I don’t think I would fancy sitting on a boat for 3 hours just for a couple of dives… hence why it’s only accessible by Liveaboards..
