Shipwreck Dive Sites
Dive into the extraordinary underwater world of Coron, Palawan, globally recognized as one of the premier destinations for World War II shipwreck diving. Beneath its turquoise waters lie more than ten remarkably well-preserved Japanese vessels, ranging from massive 170-meter oil tankers to well-armed battleships, now transformed into vibrant artificial reefs encrusted with coral. Beyond the haunting history of its wrecks, Coron offers surreal natural wonders like Barracuda Lake, famous for its dramatic temperature shifts (thermoclines) and jagged underwater “moonscape”. Whether you are exploring the colorful pinnacles of the Siete Pecados marine sanctuary or penetrating the deep engine rooms of the Irako, Coron provides an unparalleled diving adventure for every skill level.
