About Deep Rock

Deep Rock is an offshore pinnacle off Malapascua Island centered on a compact underwater rock formation. The site is wrapped in soft corals and supports strong macro life, including nudibranchs, pygmy seahorses, frogfish, shrimps, crabs, cuttlefish, and octopus. It rewards controlled boat dives, careful buoyancy, and a steady eye for changing current over the rock and slope.
