Philippines :: Tubbataha Reef : Amos Rock

This site is found on the south side of the north islet. It starts on a gentle slope that is covered in corals and ends with a wall covered in gorgonian fans and whip corals.

If there's current, you'll come across a wide variety of large fish, including mackerel, snapper and large groupers. You're also certain to see white tip and gray reef sharks that inhabit these waters in large numbers. Look out for manta rays, eagle rays and turtles closer to the surface . Other fish that can be seen include Moorish idols, angelfish, surgeonfish and fusiliers.

Overall, the site offers excellent opportunities for photography and, if conditions allow, night diving is good.
