Chapel
A white sandy slope leading to a wall that drops beyond 30 m, usually dived as a drift, with reef fish, sea snakes and sometimes bumphead parrotfish.
Chapel takes its name from the chapel on Apo Island, which you can see from the boat. The dive starts on a white sandy slope with shallow corals and continues to a wall that drops to more than 30 metres. The wall is best enjoyed between 18 and 24 metres.
It is usually a drift dive. Expect schools of reef fish and banded sea snakes and, if you are lucky, a glimpse of magnificent bumphead parrotfish in the deeper water. At the end of the wall there is a small cave to explore.
What you might see
- Schools of reef fish
- Banded sea snakes
- Bumphead parrotfish, with luck
- A small cave at the end of the wall
