Dive center - Easy Diving
Easy diving offers diving near Coron Town. The dive sites are reached within a 20 to 30 minute boat ride from Easydiving Coron Diveshop at Westown Bayview Tripst. Usually you do 2-tank dives by motorboat or local "Banka Boats". The dive sites are varied but with a lot of focus on the known wrecks from the Second World War.
History:
On the morning of September 24, 1944 at 05:50, 96 Grumman F6F Hellcat fighters and 24 Curtiss SB2C Helldiver dive bombers took off from their American Navy boats towards Coron / Palawan to attack the remnants of the Japanese Navy’s “Manila Fleet”. The ships were hiding in the secluded and calm waters of Coron Bay. During the attack, the Americans sank most of these ships in a short time. Only one ship, the “Kamoi”, managed to escape, but was badly damaged, to Hong Kong. Today, these wrecks, which are covered in coral, create a world-class “Scuba Dive Destination”. Divers from all over the world come here to watch the incredibly rich marine life.
