It was great fun experience!!! You can easily see the wreck even snorkling, because it is just 2 metrs from water level. And billions of fish. Bring rice for fish feeding and you get fun!!!

Great fish. Yellow tail zebra and great size for fish. Ship wreck is cool to see. You need a go pro camera.

Murky water - swim away for the best view
Jan 2015 • Couples
The wreck itself was a murky blur with little going on that I could see. However, just few minutes paddle out to sea was a fantastic reef which plummeted into she depths and offered up some amazing looking fish. Definitely an attraction where it helps to stray away from the rest of the flock.

One of the Best Places to Snorkel
If you love snorkeling, this place is for you. We arrived early in the morning with no other tourist boats in place. When we jumped into the water, tons of fishes welcomed us. i was scared at first because that was my first time seeing plenty of fishes swimming around me. It seems they will eat me alive but I really enjoyed it. One of the best experiences of my life.

Plunge into History
Aug 2011 • Friends
It has been ages since the Japanese Colonized Philippines but our government has been keeping those heritage anew for the generations to ponder how great our history was.

There are over 10 sunken ships around Coron Palawan while they are fighting for freedom in mid 1940's. Those sunken ships were not to deep to see, in fact, you can just snorkle to see what lies underwater. It may seem to be creepy at first because of my wild imagination that corpse can be seen as you sneek into the water.. But the answer is no.

As the boatman told u Jump, yes you must wear you snorkle, wear you vest tight, and jump!

A sunken shipwreck is underwater, and fishes made them a sanctuary for decades. grown Corals are there and variety of fishes play along with each other.. The marks of the war was erased and now it is replaced with an awesome fish sanctuary..

Nothing spectacular
Mar 2019 • Solo
Having watched numerous youtube videos of Coron before visiting this was one snorkel site I would have been happy to give a miss. However, it is on the boat tour itinerary so I checked it out. From a snorkeler perspective, seeing the wreck is limited, there are few different species of fish around but the most saddening part is the extent of dead coral along the reef. My highlight here was cooling off in the water.

Saw a sea snake!
Jun 2018 • Couples
The ship wreck was not as visible when you're just snorkeling as the waters on that part was dark but the surrounding corals was a beautiful snorkeling site and yes, I saw a sea snake and I think that was the fastest swim I've ever done to get as far away from it as humanly possible!I could have beaten Michael Phelps! :-)
