Apo Island Scuba
Diving
One of the world's most outstanding coral
reefs and scuba diving area [with hundreds of fish species] is the natural
wonder Apo Island which is about a 45 minute car or bus trip south from
Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, followed by a short boat trip from the
shore. The huge new seaquarium at the Shedd Aquarium on Lake Shore Drive in
Chicago, Illinois, uses colorful, large coral reef pieces from Apo Island
[with the permission of the Philippine government, of course] in its 50
million dollar seaquarium.
