Day 1: Coron (2 dives)
We’ll usually start our dive trips with a day including two dives. While the primary focus of these dives is to ensure safe diving practices and boost the comfortability of our divers, you’ll immediately be thrown into world-class dive sites overflowing with life. The two dives will occur after check-in and briefings, and on the way to Apo Reef.

Day 2: Apo Reef (4 dives)
Wake up on day two of our dive trip to a beautiful sunrise over Apo Reef National Park. Diving in Apo Reef is renowned for its incredible visibility, dramatic coral walls, and abundant large marine life. This day includes four diving sites situated around Apo Island where you’ll have the chance to see sharks, rays, turtles, and much more!

Day 3: Apo Island (4 dives)
Another day packed with four dives; our third day of diving will take us to the expansive Apo Lagoon! Here you’ll have the chance to see the same large marine life as Apo Island, as well as smaller, rare creatures like the elusive ghost pipefish. The lagoon offers a pristine environment for snorkeling and a relaxing swim in the afternoon, and we’ll end the day with a night dive in a small fishing boat wreck.

Day 4: Apo Reef (2 dives)
Our last day of diving will begin with a return to Apo Island for two dives, followed by an afternoon of relaxation and sunbathing on the top deck as we begin the journey back to Coron. At sunset we’ll make a stop at a small fishing village on Nanga Island for you to enjoy a truly authentic Philippines experience. Then, dinner back on the boat and a party to celebrate a successful trip!

Day 5: Return to Coron
Guests will disembark after some group pictures and a nice breakfast.
