Located in north Palawan in the most westerly part of the Philippines, Coron Bay is renowned for some of the best wreck diving in the world.

There are other interesting dive sites to explore in the area; but it’s the vessels of an anchored Japanese supply fleet, which were bombed by a massive air strike in September 1944, that divers go to discover.

These fascinating sites include gun boats, sub chasers, cargo and supply vessels as well as a seaplane tender and plenty more. The majority are at a depth of 25 metres. With a maximum of 40 metres, they are accessible to divers of all abilities.
