Big Adventure on a Small Island

Are you a diving enthusiast? Are you always looking for new underwater spots to explore and take some great pictures? Well, if you are, then you should come to Coron Island in the Philippines for a holiday of a lifetime. Here, you will enjoy diving and snorkelling in the crystal blue waters of Coron and even see lots of underwater treasures. Local fishermen will welcome you and also act as guides to the various underwater dive sites. The main attractions in the waters near Coron are the 12 Japanese war and supply ships that sunk here in World War II. The US Navy bombed the ships and they now lay untouched for more than 60 years at the bottom of the sea at depths of 10 to 43 metres. Most of these ships are still intact so divers can explore these wrecks with 2 boat dives per day. Divers can even swim through some of the rooms of the ships and see fantastic coral reefs and sea creatures on and around the ships.

Another underwater adventure awaits you at the north end of the island in Barracuda Lake. Legend has it that the lake's name comes from a large barracuda fish living in the lake. There is a 20-minute climb up a difficult hiking trail over rocky limestone to get to the lake; but once you are there the spectacular view is worth it. This hot thermal lake is actually in a volcano crater which explains the rapid changes in the water temperature of the lake. It is uncomfortably hot on the way down, at about 12 to 13 metres deep, the temperature suddenly changes from 27°C to 39°C and then on the way back up the top layer feels freezing! There isn't a lot to see at the bottom of the lake as the water is dark and murky. As you go up, though, keep your eyes open for prawns. If you put out your fingers they will come right up to you.

For more experienced divers only, there is a large deep cave to explore, but only one diver at a time can go into the cave because of its narrow passageway. This cave is truly a unique diving experience.

The waters of Coron Island promise so much to those curious enough to explore them. This island is a definite stop on the quest to discover the mysteries of the deep!
