Hi Mesje,
Apo reef is very far from Bohol. I think you may be confused in that area. I think you're referring to Apo island which is just of the coast of Dumaguete and close to Bohol. Apo reef is of the coast of MIndoro and can be accessible through liveaboard. I don't think you'd want to go on a liveaboard on go snorkeling.
Never dove in Bohol, but Balicasag island has very good reviews. (i have to within the year) but Apo island was great! It has the wildest currents, so just stay close to the reef so you can hold on. You can experience Up, Down, left right current in one dive. Its fun, and for sure you'll see the school of Jacks.
There's another thread somewhere in PPD that can give you more info on the 2 island.
Cheers

depends on what you are looking for but imho i would suggest bohol instead as there is plenty of snorkelling and scubadiving. with apo reef you are on a liveaboard and the sites are not quite suitable for snorkelling although very much doable. apo reef is known for there vertical walls that go really deep big pelagics and strong current at certain times of the year.
Alona Beach (and Balicasag) is perfect for beginners. Not too much current, lovely wall dives and lots of nice sites accessible by short boat rides. Apo Reef may be a bit far out to go if you're not that comfortable onboard.
