About Coral Garden East
Coral Garden East is a gentle boat dive on the Apo Reef system where broad hard-coral formations spread across a shallow reef with sandy breaks between the coral heads. It is typically chosen as a relaxed scenic circuit for divers who want bright reef structure, frequent turtle encounters, and steady reef-fish action without the steeper wall profile found elsewhere in the park.
