Coron, located in the province of Palawan in the Philippines, is a must-visit destination for dive enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Famous for its remarkable underwater attractions, Coron offers some of the best wreck diving in the world. During World War II, nine Japanese ships were sunk by US carrier planes, creating an incredible fleet of wrecks that are now home to vibrant marine life and accessible to divers of all levels. Each wreck offers a glimpse into history, with stunning visibility and coral-covered remnants of the ships, making it a dream for wreck diving aficionados.
In addition to the wrecks, Barracuda Lake provides a unique and unforgettable diving experience. The lake is known for its thermocline, where divers can experience a surreal sensation of plunging from cool, fresh water into warmer saltwater. The water's mix creates an ethereal environment, often described as diving in two different worlds at once. Whether you're exploring sunken ships or floating in the mystical waters of Barracuda Lake, Coron is a divers' paradise that promises both history and natural beauty in one unforgettable destination.
