Boat-access southeast reef on Apo Island; strong coral, current-sensitive slope, and abundant fish make it best for controlled scuba dives.

About Rock Point East

Rock Point East is a finger-shaped reef on Apo Island's southeast corner, with a steep coral-covered slope and a plateau that pulls in schools of fish. The site is current-sensitive and can drift when the flow lines up, so it suits divers who are comfortable reading conditions and staying tidy on the reef. It is best planned as a boat dive with a local operator, especially when you want the calmer season and clean entry timing.
