Amos Rock

Amos Rock, an ideal dive site for advanced divers, derives its name from a unique rock formation on the reef top, located 5 meters below the surface. This magnificent spot becomes especially popular when the Amihan winds blow forcefully, preventing access to the eastern dive spots.

Divers can expect to encounter a diverse range of marine life, including rainbow runners, fusiliers, angelfish, butterflyfish, and batfish. Some lucky divers have even reported sightings of majestic Napoleon wrasse in these waters.

Allowing the mild currents to guide you, embark on a gentle drift dive along the wall while admiring the vibrant underwater world. The sides of the wall are adorned with magnificent gorgonians, which occasionally house the elusive pygmy seahorse. Within the caverns, red fire gobies play hide-and-seek amidst the white sandy patches. Whitetip sharks gracefully seek their meals or find serenity while nurse sharks rest in the sheltered ledges along the wall. On the reef top, schools of vibrant reef parrotfish patrol the area in search of food. It's not unusual for divers to be astonished by a breathtaking sight of a whale shark appearing from the depths of the blue. Furthermore, the reef is adorned with colossal barrel sponges and stunning Gorgonian fan corals, adding life and a burst of color.

Amos Rock offers excellent visibility of up to 23 meters, making it a picturesque underwater experience. The maximum depth of this dive site is 24 meters. So, if you're an advanced diver seeking an unforgettable adventure, add Amos Rock to your must-visit list.
