Coron

Coron, Philippines, is globally acclaimed as one of the world's premier wreck diving destinations. The bay is a submerged museum, holding the remarkably preserved remains of a Japanese supply fleet sunk by American forces in September 1944. These historic wrecks, ranging from gunboats to large cargo ships, lie at accessible depths, offering unparalleled opportunities for exploration. Divers can navigate through cargo holds, engine rooms, and along barnacle-encrusted superstructures, witnessing history frozen in time. Beyond the wrecks, Coron also boasts unique dive sites like the geothermal Barracuda Lake and several vibrant reefs.

Diving conditions in Coron are generally favorable, with warm tropical waters year-round. Visibility can fluctuate, especially near the wrecks, but is often best during the dry season. The area caters to divers of all levels, though wreck penetration requires advanced certification and experience.
