Coconut Point (Apo Island)

Coconut is Apo Island's espresso shot. Water piling around the island's northern point runs over terraced hard coral and turns the dive into a conveyor: divers tuck into the lee of coral ridges while bigeye trevally wheel overhead in barrel formations, midnight snapper stack in the flow, and green turtles, absurdly, graze on as though the river of water were not there. Sea kraits hunt the terraces between surges. When the current peaks, the group flies the last stretch and surfaces grinning in open water. It demands comfort with drift procedure and rewards it disproportionately.
