Coron Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coron Island, located at the northern tip of Palawan in the Philippines, is known for several Japanese shipwrecks that sank there during World War II. The area around the wrecks have pleasant rock formations which provide for excellent snorkeling opportunities, with underwater visibility extending up to 80 feet. The water is usually calm, with almost no current. Coron is one of the most visited destinations for wreck diving in the Philippines. Wreck dive sites are found in a depth of as shallow as 10-30 feet and as deep as 120-140 feet. Most are in the range of about 60-80 feet, perfect for sports divers.
