About Rico'S Wall
Rico's Wall is Balicasag's classic wall dive, with a steep drop-off, ledges, and coral cover that make the site feel open and current-driven. It is a boat-access site where current can build along the wall, so it suits confident divers who stay streamlined and follow the guide. Plan on clear-water windows, managed island logistics, and a profile shaped more by flow and fish traffic than by a long shallow cruise.
