District:
Rico's Wall
Rico's Wall, located on the south/west side of Balicasag Island, boasts a deep drop-off wall with a distinct land orientation marked by a prominent rock with a stick visible from the beach during low tide. Underwater, divers can explore a diverse habitat featuring soft and hard corals, along with small caverns and crevices. A highlight of the marine life is witnessing a school of "Jacks," Big Eye trevally, swirling in circular formations akin to a tornado, while Midnight Snappers mingle among sweetlip fishes. Divers have the option to start the dive with the wall on their left, heading south, or with the right shoulder, heading north.
