Beatrice Rock
A reef dive site off Maricaban Island, known for wall diving, large fish schools and occasional encounters with big fish.
Beatrice Rock lies on the outer side of Maricaban Island. It is a reef that breaks the surface, and underwater it drops steeply into a deep wall, reaching depths of over 30 m. Common sightings include schools of jacks, barracudas and emperor fish, with sea turtles and whitetip sharks appearing occasionally. The wall is also decorated with large sea fans and soft corals. Currents are often strong, and dives are mostly drift dives, so it is recommended for advanced divers. The boat trip from Anilao takes about 30 minutes. It is often combined with Sombrero Island and Sepoc Point in a one-day route.
