This dive site, Amos Rock, gets its name from a distinctive rock formation at 5 meters on the reef top, which serves as a gathering point for schooling midnight snapper. It's a strategic alternate dive location, providing shelter and good conditions when strong Amihan winds make access to eastern dive spots challenging. Divers can navigate around this central rock feature, exploring the surrounding reef.
The marine life at Amos Rock is diverse and abundant. Common sightings include schooling midnight snapper, rainbow runners, fusiliers, angelfish, butterflyfish, and batfish. Divers have also reported encounters with impressive Napoleon wrasse, adding to the site's rich biodiversity and appeal.
Amos Rock is particularly recommended during the Amihan season when it offers a reliable and enjoyable diving experience despite prevailing winds. Its relatively shallow average depth and vibrant marine ecosystem make it suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers looking for an active and colorful reef dive.
