Kan-uran

Also known as: Kan Oran Reef · Kan-Uran Point · Kan Oran

Kan-uran lies on the back side of Apo Island, a little north of the marine sanctuary. Its walls come in several levels, starting at about 5 m and dropping very deep, with overhangs and ledges to explore. Large sea fans and colourful soft and hard corals cover the wall, and pelagic fish can appear in the blue. The name is said to mean 'from the person' in the local Visayan dialect. Whether it can be dived depends on wind and sea on that side of the island.
