Apo Island Day Trip Pictures

Here is a collection of pictures from our day trip to Apo Island, we did not bring an underwater camera, so the only shot of under water of the clown fish taken in Clown Fish City in Apo Island Marine Reserve is taken with a regular dive bag, so the quality is not that good.

I will add more er pictures from Apo Island on my next trip as I just invested in a new Olympus mju 720SW - which is supposed to be shock and waterproof up to 3 meters. My last mju 720SW died on a snorkeling trip in Siquijor so I am not sure it really works.

As you can see Apo Island has a lot of good pictures just waiting to be taken, so make sure you bring a camera when you go there, it is also a good idea to bring an underwater camera for snorkeling in Apo Island Marine Sanctuary and the Protected Seascape - the visibility under water there when we went was incredible.
