Submerged shoal topping at 7–8m with anthias clouds and schooling fish. Named for an early Anilao woman diver. Intermediate–advanced, 7–27m, slack-tide only.
One of the best fun-freedive pinnacles in the area because the top is at freediver depth. Must be dived at neap tide or slack; 'ripping' current on bigger tides makes it advanced-only and requires a chase boat. Scuba boats also use it — keep a surface lookout.
Submerged shoal ~15–20 min by boat from Anilao/Eagle Point; northern end of Maricaban Strait. Named after one of the early women divers in Anilao (1960s-70s).
