Coron town is famous for its extraordinary dive sites, each offering a unique underwater experience. The World War II Japanese shipwrecks, including Irako, Okikawa Maru, Akitsushima, and Kogyo Maru, are among the most popular sites, drawing wreck divers from around the world. These well-preserved wrecks range in depth and difficulty, making them suitable for both recreational and technical divers.
For those interested in reef diving, Siete Pecados Marine Park is a top choice, boasting healthy coral formations and abundant marine life. Barracuda Lake, known for its dramatic thermocline and otherworldly rock formations, is another must-visit, offering an entirely different diving experience with its mix of freshwater and saltwater.
Twin Lagoon and Dimakya Island are also excellent for reef and macro diving, providing encounters with colorful fish, nudibranchs, and even dugongs. With its diverse range of dive sites, Coron offers an unforgettable underwater adventure for divers of all levels.
For non-divers, these attractions can still be enjoyed through
Coron island-hopping tours, which include snorkeling stops at Siete Pecados, Twin Lagoon, and Barracuda Lake. These sites offer stunning underwater visibility and thriving marine ecosystems, making them perfect for snorkeling adventures.
Even without diving, visitors can witness Coron town’s vibrant coral reefs, schools of fish, and dramatic limestone landscapes while swimming in its crystal-clear waters.
