Rico's Wall

Description

Deep drop-off wall in the south/west side of Balicasag Island.  The land orientation is the big rock marked with the stick in front of the beach in low water.

​

Marine Life

Soft and hard corals, small caverns, and crevices. Often, a school of “Jacks” in the Big Eye trevally swim in circles like a tornado. Midnight Snappers are swimming among sweetlip fishes.
