CORON


Jessie Beazley

 

Coron is one of the Philippines greatest SCUBA diving locations and truly a pearl of philippine wreckdiving! On 24th of September, 1944 some 120 US Navy bombers caught a Japanese convoy at anchor in Coron Bay, northern Palawan. Some 11 (or more yet undiscovered). World War Two Japanese wrecks, hot volcanic lakes, caves, coral reefs and walls await you. HISTORY

Lying on her starboard side in 36 meters of water the Kogyo Maru offers swim throughs into all six holds and through the engine room and bridge area.
