CORON PALAWAN

Coron is has fast become prominent for its excellent wreck diving. Close to the end of World War II, the American Navy discovered a camouflaged fleet of Japanese war ships around Busuanga Island. Taskforce 45 attacked the fleet and sunk 24 ships. Twelve wrecks have been located at diveable limits,  (between five and forty-two metres).

As well as excellent wreck diving, there are several exquisite coral dives and drop offs. Unique sites include Barracuda Lake at Coron Island and Gunther's Cathedral. There are many wrecks located only a short boat ride from the island of Coron. The Akitsushima, Kogyo Maru, Irako, and the gun boat Lusong are just a few. The Barracuda lake is a dive not to be missed. It requires a little effort to make the climb, gear laden, to the site but it is well worth it. Water temperatures vary dramatically,(28-36 celsius), unusual scenery  and of course the encounter with the resident barracuda make this dive one to remember.

Most of the Coral diving takes place around Coron Island or the nearby reefs between Coron & Culion. Dive sites like, the Pinochle, Maming corner, the Rocky corner and the Coral garden. These are beautiful dives along the wall's of Coron Island. The wall's are filled with a big variety of hard and soft corals, big Fan's. Perfect dive sites for under water photography with wide angle & macro. Different kind of Nudibranchs, Lionfish, Crocodile fish, Clown fish &, even some times Turtles, Sharks and ray's!!
