    Is it okay to visit apo island later, October11, 2012? We heard that there's a maintenance going on. Hoping that someone can advise us of this asap. Thanks!

    Not sure what you mean with maintenance, but the Island is still there as of October 10, 2012, as are most of the dive-sites and t-shirt vendors.

    Thanks, got it...
    the marine Sanctuary suffered quite a bit in last years storm. However, you can go snorkeling on the other site of Apo Island. In my opinion, the aquatic life around the Katipanan and Rock Point area are much nicer than the Sanctuary, and deep enough that visitors can not walk on top of it (read: destroy them).

    I was at the beach near Malatapay Market yesterday in Zamboanguita. I could have sworn I saw a sign posted by a tour operator that said something about that. It's something about all tours to Apo island are cancelled until a certain date and now I'm beating myself up for not paying attention or asking the people there about it.

    Try sending an email to any dive center or resort in Dauin. If there's something going on, they would know.

    I enjoyed my tour an awful lot although it was a few years ago. Did some diving which was breath taking. (no pun intended). Would highly recommend the tour to any locals, tourists or visitors to the area.
