Everything was great, the receptionist, the food, the room, and certainly the snorkeling and diving.

The dive master (Jed) was super flexible in accommodating our wishes and took us on 2 of the best dives we had in the Philippines! One was in a amazing coral garden, the other one was an awesome drift dive.

For snorkeling you don't have to go far, the shallow water in front of the homestay is full of turtles and nice corals can be found by walking a few hundred meters.

Thank you all, we hope to come back some day!

Great home stay and diving! We stayed for 3 nights and would loved to have the time to stay even longer.
Thanks to Mario and stuff, the kitchen ladies and everyone for the overall organization of everything we asked for.
Especially big thanks to Jed for the amazing dives! We enjoyed a lot our time at Apo

I came here originally to stay one or two nights for some scuba diving, but already while heading into the bay I could tell that I would end up staying longer and ended up doing my advanced open water diver here.

Apo Island is just something else. The way the village is built into the treeline and how friendly everyone here is - you owe it to yourself to stay on the island for at least a night and not just to pass by on a boat.

As for Mario‘s - it‘s everything I could have asked for. Accomodations are clean and comfortable (though note that the entire island has limited times for electricity, it never became an issue but maybe don‘t plan on working remotely here or sth). Also, the entire Team of divemasters and Mario himself are just caring, competent and generally super likeable.

Amazing place!
