| The Largahan Reef dive site is located on the northwest side of Apo Island, Philippines. It is also the exit point for divers coming from Coconut Point. The cliff offers an easy dive with soft and hard corals such as tube anemones, black corals and others. There is also a sandy area near the end of the dive where you can see gas bubbles emerging. Lookout for turtles, seasnakes and also bumphead parrot fish. This dive site starts on a sandy steep slope which joins a small but steep wall and then goes back to a gentle slope again. Largahan reef is a beautiful diverse dive site with lots to see including an unusual amount of macro life for Apo Island, such as nudibranchs, flatworms and frogfish to look out for. In one area, volcanic bubbles come out of the sand, shimmering as they catch the sun light. The sand, which is usually white in Apo island, is dark in many areas of Largahan Reef.
