Apo Island - North (Ego Wall)
Apo Island - North (Ego Wall) is a boat-only wall dive with pelagics.
Plan organized boat access, current-aware diving, and a drift mindset; the site rewards buoyancy control and works best when sea state is settled.
About Apo Island - North (Ego Wall)
Apo Island - North (Ego Wall) is a boat-only wall dive on the northeast edge of Apo Reef, where the reef drops into a current-shaped blue-water edge. It suits divers who want a drift-ready profile, dense reef schools, and a real chance of pelagic passes rather than a mellow sightseeing reef. Expect a remote, operator-run day where buoyancy control, gas discipline, and weather windows matter more than on-site facilities, and where the best dives reward calm teamwork rather than a casual sightseeing pace.

Local Intel For Apo Island - North (Ego Wall)
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for certified scuba divers who are comfortable managing current and staying oriented on a wall. Good buoyancy and drift procedures matter more than chasing depth.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site. The current-exposed wall and boat-only access make it a scuba-first target.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to calmer shallow edges; the main wall is better left to scuba divers.
