Best Freediving Sites in Coron

Coron is one of the Philippines’ most exciting freediving destinations, combining limestone lakes, coral gardens and shallow WWII wrecks. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced freediver, these are some of the sites worth discovering.

Barracuda Lake

If you choose only one, make it Barracuda Lake. Surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs, its sheltered waters and unusual temperature layers create an almost otherworldly underwater environment. It is excellent for both recreational freediving and depth training.

Best for: Depth, underwater photography and a uniquely Coron experience.

Skeleton Wreck

One of Coron's most accessible wrecks, Skeleton Wreck can be seen from the surface and explored by freedivers. Its exposed structure creates excellent opportunities for underwater photography.

Best for: Beginners, wreck exploration and photography.

Lusong Gunboat

Another shallow WWII wreck, Lusong Gunboat is particularly suitable for freedivers who aren't yet comfortable going deep. The wreck is covered with marine growth and can be combined with the nearby coral garden.

Best for: Beginner freedivers and shallow wreck diving.

Lusong Coral Garden

Forget depth for a moment. Lusong Coral Garden is about enjoying the reef. Colorful corals and tropical fish make it ideal for relaxed recreational freediving.

Best for: Coral, marine life and easy fun dives.

Siete Pecados

Seven small rocky islets surrounded by a protected marine environment make Siete Pecados one of Coron's most attractive reef experiences.
