Aphol’s Point

Aphol's Point lies along the Batangas coast of the Philippines, part of the Verde Island Passage known for its dense concentration of dive sites reachable from towns like Anilao. It reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres and is generally rated an intermediate dive, with good visibility reported at the site. As a cave site, divers have also noted deeper sections that push into exploration grade technical diving, fragile formations that can be broken by contact, a halocline that distorts visibility and light, and restrictions tight enough to require removing and pushing gear through.
