Largahan
Apo Island’s traditional last dive: a beautiful reef with a sandy patch full of volcanic bubbles, a wall at 20–30 m and hawksbill turtles.
Largahan means “leaving”: by tradition, it was the last place to dive before leaving Apo Island. It is a beautiful reef.
The site is known for its volcanic bubbles, with a large sandy patch where bubbles stream up from the seabed. There is a lovely wall between 20 and 30 metres, and fantastic coral throughout, a mix of soft and hard.
There is a huge turtle rock, where you will normally see hawksbill turtles. There is also a big sandy area where, with a bit of luck, we find some nice macro life.
What you might see
- Volcanic bubbles rising from the sand
- A wall from 20 to 30 metres
- Hawksbill turtles around the turtle rock
- Soft and hard corals
- Macro life on the sand
