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 Resort. 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, 6 Grumman F24F Hellcat fighters and 2 Curtiss SBXNUMXC Helldiver dive bombers took off from their US Navy boats towards Coron / Palawan to attack the remnants of the Japanese Navy's “Manila Fleet”. The ships hid in the secluded and calm waters of Coron Bay. During their 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. Nowadays, these richly coral-covered wrecks create a world-class "Scuba Dive Destination". Divers from all over the world come here and can look at the incredibly rich marine life.
Up to 3 dives a day
If there is nothing else planned, you can do up to 3 dives during the day to the shipwrecks. You usually start at 8am from Easydiving Coron's dive shop at Westown Bayview Resort. You will then return there around 17:00. On average, it takes just over an hour by boat to reach the first wreck dive site. Examples of wrecks are: Morazan Maru, Olympia Maru, Kogyu Maru, Iraku Maru, Akitsushima, Okikawa Maru, East Sangat wreck, Lutsong gun boat, Skeleton wreck, Nanshin Maru and Kyokuzan Maru. There are also many other dive sites such as Barracuda lake, Cathedral cave, Malpadon reef, Alcatraz reef, Siete Pecados, Twin Peaks and CYC island.
The dive sites are often also good for snorkelling and beginners. Other dive sites are for more experienced divers.
The diving center also offers other activities such as:
