Situated along the southern perimeter of Balicasag Island, Rudy's Rock features a steep coral slope transitioning into a vertical wall adorned with gorgonian fans and barrel sponges. Resident green sea turtles graze quietly on the shallow reef top while large schools of jacks cruise along the drop-off into the blue.
Frequent close encounters with resident green and hawksbill sea turtles feeding in the shallows
Dense clusters of giant trevally and schooling bigeye trevally congregating off the drop-off
Vertical wall sections covered in colorful soft corals, black coral bushes, and crinoids
