Best for advanced divers, 29-152m, boat entry, strong current.
Apo 29 is a deep wall site at Apo Reef, Philippines, that drops from 29 metres to over 150 metres. This site is strictly for advanced divers due to the extreme depths and strong, variable currents. Visibility typically ranges between 15 and 50 metres, allowing for expansive views of the wall topography. Access is by boat only, and divers must coordinate descent and pick-up points with the skipper due to the challenging drift conditions. Water temperatures remain consistent between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Given the depth and current, this site requires precise buoyancy control and is not suitable for casual exploration.
