Coron is not only famous for its diving but it also has a sunken fleet of World War Two-era Japanese warships. To get there, you need to have an entrance pass, which can be purchased for about PHP2000/USD5 from most travel agencies in the town of Coron. Flying to Puerto Princesa takes only 45 minutes from Manila. Then you can take a boat trip to Coron. Journey time is about 12 hours.
Here are some Coron diving pictures from my trip. Fantastic looking wrecks here! Possible whaleshark sightings though. But the wrecks are fun and safe to swim through. Didn’t dive Barracuda Lake, but snorkeling and swimming was relaxing. Twin Lagoon gave us a glimpse of the thermocline… very interesting to swim through. Loved the relaxed atmosphere.
