Apo Island is a 40-minute boat voyage from Zamboanga, Philippines, off the southeastern coast of Negros. A 30-minute motorized boat journey from the community of Malatapay, Zamboanga to Negros Oriental, will take you there. Because of the island's incredible marine life, Apo Island snorkeling and diving is the most popular activity. Apo is the epicenter of marine biodiversity, with colorful soft coral beds in the shallows and massive gorgonian sea fans. In the shallows, scores of protected green and hawksbill turtles can be spotted. Huge schools of jacks, groupers, and fusiliers are also present. #bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

The island of Apo is located near the Dain area in Dumaguete, Philippines. It takes about half an hour to get a crab boat from the pier in Dauin. It takes about half an hour by car from Dumaguete City to Dain District. The most famous of apo island is the sea turtle. You can see a lot of snorkeling. The dive shop in Dumaguete City can report a day trip to apo island. The package is divided into snorkeling package and deep dive package. The snorkeling package is about 1000P for one person, including transportation to and from the Duma and Dain, a day trip to the sea, snorkeling tools, and lunch. The shallow package is charged according to the number of dive trips. It generally has a dive 1500P, two dive 2800P, and a three dive 3300p. It also provides round-trip transportation, diving equipment and lunch. Under the temptation of price, we finally chose three dive. (Exchange rate 1 HKD 7 peso) apo Island's underwater environment is very good, the first dive we have seen turtles and many cute little sea rabbits, a big rule of diving in the sea is, do not touch and disturb Those marine life, while protecting them, are also protecting themselves. The second dive dive site before the dive, the coach told us that there will be ocean currents underneath, and that if we have to deal with the currents at high speed, I just want to say that when I encounter the flow, I kick and kick my waist. To break, if you want to experience the currents of the diver, you can try it. The third dive is leisure diving. I saw a lot of sea turtles, different varieties, and many beautiful corals.

Apo Island: Land of the Friendly Pawikans ✨ In our travel to Negros, I didn't really expect much. I thought there was nothing interes in Negros. BUT! OMG, our Negros Escapade was still the best travel adventure I've been to so far, the best part is especially the time we met the Sea Turtles of Apo Island. They were just very near, I don't even know if that was still okay. 😅 #wintergetaway

APO Island is the smallest island in the Duma. The island's electricity and food as well as fresh water are limited. The local residents also rely on materials from the island to live, but the water quality is very good. is very suitable for diving. It is also a good place to take a deep dive to see the microbes on the seabed. Of course, the most famous ones are the sea turtles. They are slow and not afraid of people, but in the sea, you still only chase them. Share it.

Apo Island in the Philippines is known as one of the top ten diving spots in the world. Surrounded by a huge marine life reserve, the island has a colorful underwater world, and more than 20 large and small turtles have been inhabited for many years. Here you can enjoy the slow life, enjoy the most beautiful sunsets, play with the turtles, and sneak into the deep sea to explore the mysterious underwater world. The sunset I saw here is the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen.
