About this site
North Rock lies in the waters off Palawan in the western Philippines, a region known for its scattered reef and rock formations along the coastline and outlying islets. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres and is generally rated an intermediate dive. Divers have also reported significant coral damage here following Typhoon Odette, so the reef structure in places may reflect that storm's impact.
