Crocodile Island

Crocodile Island, also known as Crocodile Rock, sits off the coast of Boracay in the Visayas region of the Philippines, named for its long, reptilian silhouette above the waterline. It is one of the dive sites reached by boat from Boracay's western shore, along the channel between the main island and this smaller rocky outcrop. The reef here reaches a maximum depth of around 27 metres and is rated an intermediate dive, with light current and good visibility typical of the site. Divers have reported frogfish, garden eels, ghost pipefish, nudibranchs, and seahorses among the reef's residents.
