APO ISLAND
Apo Island's Marine Park is not far away from Dumaguete City, the capital of Negros. The Marine Park was founded by the Silimlan University in 1982. Because it has been protectes for a long time, the corals are spectacular and the variety of fish is abundant. Many butterfly fish, tunicates, angelfish, garden eels and black snappers. Occasionally a white tip shark or a manta ray. U/W photographers count Apo Island as one of the best dive spots in the Philippines. Coconut is one of the best dives of the island, with excellent visibility and schools of Jacks.

SUMILON ISLAND
One of the first Marine Sanctuaries in the Philippines. The gradually sloping reef offers a good selection of anemones, soft, leather and fan corals, and typical Philippine reef dwellers. White Tip sharks and big school of jack fish are encountered regularly.

SIQUIJOR ISLAND
Siquijor is well known for its healers and voodoo practices. Black and White magic is still practiced even nowadays. The reefs drop off to 40m and good caves can be found here. Snappers and seasnakes are among the most commonly encountered residents under water. On dive safaris we stay at David's Coral Cay Resort, one of the nicest resorts you have ever seen. Enjoy the 4 km of pure white beach, just for you alone, or challenge his staff in a beach volley ball game. Divers enjoy the beautiful caverns in a depth of 30m.
