Dive Sites
Highlights are the dive sites around Apo Island with intact coral formations and varied diving in shallow coral gardens and beautifully vegetated walls. Interesting underwater landscapes with sea fans, soft corals and feather stars offer a home for many colourful nudibranchs, moray eels, frog fish, seahorses, clown fish and sea snakes. In addition to Apo Island the protected dive site of Masaplod offers an abundance of fish live.
The largely intact underwater world around Negros not only offers something for underwater photographers. The dive sites are accessible all year round, with mostly good to very good visibility, and generally low to medium currents. The water temperature is warm and tropical at 27-29 degrees C ° (81-84 degrees F), a 3 mm (1/8 inch) wetsuit should be sufficient.
House Reef
A small house reef with coral blocks and macro diving is located right in front of the resort. This is part of the national park and visitors have to pay a small fee of 50 Pesos each time they snorkel or dive at the house reef.
