Remark:
In the Internet you find a lot lodges and diveshops under the name of APO.
But one dive shop on APO itself is LIBERTY LODGE: www.apoisland.com.
You really are on APO and not somewhere else, like many outside diveshops make you believe. They take long trips to bring you here.
So here you are directly on APO and like the picture, you step in the clear water and see fishes!
We prefer divers to stay here, not the easy life holiday fun groups, complaining about less comfort.
We ask you to engage yourself on many projects on the Island , how to protect the marine life.
See APO Island Community what you can do and the option what happens, when we dont take action.

Apo Island is located just off the southeastern tip of the island of Negros, 30 km south of the Negros Oriental Capitol of Dumaguete.
The island is only 3 km in diameter and 120 m at it's highest point, where a light house stands. There is a white stone beach, 250 m long, and an unusually vibrant coral reef, which has been protected as a fish sanctuary since 1982 offering extraordinary diving and snorkeling.
There are about 800 residents living on the Island. Liberty's Lodge provides accommodations for visitors. There are 14 rooms and a restaurant serving good European and Filipino meals.
The other parts of Apo Island have rocky beaches which are a resource for all kinds of large fish species. There is a hiking trail to the lighthouse on the top of the island where you can see a variety of fruit trees. There is no motorized traffic like cars or motorbikes found on the Island.
