Cogon Point - Apo Island Dive Sites

Cogon Point - Apo Island

Cogon is named after Cogon Village, which in turn is named after a type of grass. This dive site has its moments, depending on the time of year, the tides and the moon. Sometimes there is a very strong current and at other times there is no current! Most of the year it is a good, moderate paced, drift dive. The dive starts at the buoy near to Olo point, the northeastern corner of the island, as near as the local fishermen allow.

Cogon Point is often subjected to fierce currents, making it an exhilarating drift dive only suitable for more experienced divers. The dive starts on a sloping reef with excellent mixed corals and sponges and finishes along a wall with luxurious soft corals.

Strong currents guarantee remarkable marine life activity with all kinds of fish cruising the reef and huge schools of big eye trevallies (jacks) hanging in the blue.
