Mamsa Point: east-side Apo drift dive for jacks

Boat access and current-sensitive planning make a local briefing the safest way to dive the site.
Mamsa Point is the east-side drift dive on Apo Island where a gentle start turns into a wall and the current pushes schools of jackfish through the site. It is a boat-access, condition-sensitive dive for experienced divers who want moving water, good buoyancy practice, and the chance of tuna or other pelagics passing through rather than a relaxed reef cruise.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
5m - 38m
Depth Note
Starts shallow on a sloping reef and runs down to about 38m on the wall section.
Best Season
October to May, outside the monsoon window.
Typical Conditions
Strong current, slope-to-wall terrain, and a drift-style pickup when conditions allow.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Plan for potentially very strong currents.
Access Restrictions
Best with a local boat operator; if the current or sea state is up, the site may be skipped for safety.
Legal Notes
Apo Island is a protected marine area, so follow local dive rules and do not remove reef material.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided drift dive for experienced divers. The reward is moving schools of jackfish and occasional pelagics over a reef that turns into a wall.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the current and depth profile make it a poor fit except for highly experienced teams in ideal conditions.
Snorkeling
Not a standard snorkel stop. The site is better suited to scuba than surface-level viewing because the best action sits in moving water.
