Rock is a divesite known for its tantalizing beauty. But have you ever
wondered how this spot got its name? Apparently during the early years
of Scuba Diving in Anilao, this was discovered by the early adventurers
and one of their lady companion was named Beatrice, They named the site
after her.
One
of the best site in Anilao. There are large barrel sponges, good gorgonians,
black corals, soft corals, stony corals, anemones with clownfish, nudibranchs
and sea stars. It is densely populated with just about all the reef
fish you could expect.
This
is one of the favorite dive site in Anilao. It’s actually on the
north east corner of Sombrero Island. One side of the rock is slopy
and then a mini wall. The other corner goes into a gradual slope or
coral garden. This site can have ripping currents. When that happens
you will see the orchestra of anthias dancing with the current. Top
is at 7M and goes to 25M. Best to stay at around 18 to 20M
