Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Apo Island

The Apo Island marine sanctuary has been closed since Typhoon Pablo ravaged the island and its seabed in 2012, to allow the corals to regenerate - they grow by just 1 cm in 20 months. Rest assured, this won't stop you from diving elsewhere around the island and taking in the sights. From the main beach, just a few meters away, you'll find yourself face to face with giant turtles and coral of impressive beauty and variety.
