Rudy's Rock is a reef dive site off Balicasag Island, a small island near Panglao in Bohol, in the Visayas region of the Philippines. Balicasag sits within a marine sanctuary, and the island's shoreline drops into deeper water just offshore, with boat access typically arranged from Panglao or Alona Beach. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres and is rated a beginner dive, though divers have reported strong current here at times. Marine life reported at the site includes barracuda, frogfish, ghost pipefish, jacks and amberjack, nudibranchs, reef sharks, sea turtles, and trevally.
