I found this bubble coral at the Chapel dive just off Apo's main beach.

In the afternoon we snorkeled the Apo Marine Sanctuary, this is a shot of the clown fish city.

Here's another shot of the clown fish city that shows a few more of the residents.

It didn't take long to find the school of juvenile jacks that live in the sanctuary.

When they grow larger they will move out of the sanctuary and to either Coconut or Cogon points where the current is stronger.

After snorkeling in the sanctuary I stopped off to play a little music at a house where they were having a birthday party.

I played a few songs and then headed back to Liberty's to get ready for the night dive later on.

Meanwhile the students were having an intense game of Jenga at Liberty's.

Sunsets over the Mindanao Sea are always great to watch from Apo.

Usually in the afternoons the Apo kids come out and play on the beach. Not sure where they were on this afternoon.

The hammock at the Apo dive shop has a great view of the sunset over the sea.

Here's a shot of Apo's well-known Boluarte rock formation.

Here's another view of the Apo sunset.

Just as the sun dipped over the horizon, we headed out to the Chapel dive spot for the night dive (a first for me).

Right away we spotted this nudibranch that is usually only seen at night.

Crocodile fish like this one are also usually only seen at night.

This puffer fish was resting under the coral head.

Lion fish are also generally more active at night.

This octopus moved really fast and was hard to spot on the bottom. They're also generally only seen moving around at night.

We also found this school of catfish schooled up beside some coral.

Although it may not appear large in the photo, this hermit crab was pretty huge. I guess I needed to include something in the frame to provide a scale for comparison.

On the left side of the shell there is an anemone clinging for the ride.

After the dive, Mario the barangay captain of Apo told the students about the history of island and the sanctuary there.
