The 1.14 million hectare passage is extremely rich in marine biodiversity, in fact, it’s among the richest areas in the entire Coral Triangle and one of the most productive ecosystems in the world.

In 2006, a team of marine conservationists declared the Philippines a “Center of Marine Biodiversity” in the world and Verde Island Passage as the “Center of the Center of Marine Shorefish Biodiversity”.

Many threatened species, which include sea turtles like hawksbills, olive ridleys, green turtles; humphead wrasses, giant groupers, giant clams, and the rare red fin wrasse are present in the Verde Island Passage.

✨ Anda is among the province of Bohol’s fast emerging hot spots. A 14-kilometer long reef attracts divers to some small dive centers along the coast from Anda to Guindulman, off the east coast of the island of Bohol.

Only four dive shops in the area and not so many tourists make Anda one of the few stil untouched places in the area. 29 fantastic and very varied dive sites await every diver. Almost 500 species of coral and over 1,000 species of fish were registered here.

Steep wall divers, macro divers, night divers and drift divers can also find what they are looking for here. The drop-offs have depths from 20 to 40 m. Many divers also call the walls the reef of the 1000 snails. The variety of species in the underwater landscape is enormous.

Are you up for a new dive challenge? 😀

🐢 Apo (which means “grandson” in the local dialect) Island is a marine sanctuary located off the south-western coast of Negros Oriental. The island is situated about 8 kilometers off the coast from the municipality of Dauin, about 17 kilometers south of Dumaguete City.

Once destroyed by unsustainable fishing practices, Apo Island has bounced back to become one of the best diving destinations in the Philippines. After being bombarded daily with blast fishing in the 1970s, Apo Island was closed off and declared a marine reserve where locals managed this community-based protected area.

When it comes to corals, Apo island has 400 of the 450 species found in the Philippines. That’s a 88% of the country’s coral species concentrated around this small island of Dauin, Negros Oriental. This is further complemented by its fish diversity where the reefs of the island house 650 species of fish.

The main season for diving in Apo Island, as well as in Dumaguete, Dauin and the rest of Negros Oriental is from October to May.

Are you ready for a dive in Apo Island? 😀

🦈 The island of Malapascua is very famous for Thresher Sharks. Here these beauties can be seen on a regular basis.

The Thresher Sharks live usually in deep water and are very rarely spotted in shallow water. In Malapascua, they come up to around 20m in the water first thing in the morning to get rid of the parasites on their skins. The best chance to spot the Thresher Sharks is at Monad Shoal dive site early morning.

Thresher sharks have big eyes, a small mouth, large pectoral fins, first dorsal fin, and pelvic fins. They have a small second dorsal fin (near their tail) and a**l fins. Their most noticeable characteristic is that the top lobe of their tail is unusually long and whip-like. This tail may be used to herd and stun small fish, upon which it preys.

Have you ever seen a Thresher Shark? Do you want to see one? 😉
