Why Is Coron One of the Best Places for Freediving?
Coron isn't just beautiful above the water. For freedivers, some of its most spectacular scenery begins below the surface.
So what makes Coron such a special freediving destination?
Barracuda Lake
This is the experience that really sets Coron apart.
Hidden between towering limestone cliffs, Barracuda Lake contains layers of fresh and salt water with dramatic changes in temperature as you descend.
Its sheltered setting means you aren't dealing with the waves and strong currents found at many open-ocean dive sites. The strange underwater rock formations make the experience even more memorable.
Wrecks You Can Explore on One Breath
Coron is internationally known for its WWII Japanese shipwrecks.
While many are primarily scuba sites, shallower wrecks such as Lusong Gunboat give freedivers an opportunity to experience Coron's history without a tank.
Reefs, Lakes and Wrecks
Variety is one of Coron's biggest advantages.
One day can be about depth training. Another can mean exploring a wreck or gliding above a colorful coral garden.
That makes Coron interesting for beginners as well as experienced freedivers.
A Place to Learn
Coron also has established freediving schools offering beginner through advanced training.
You don't need to arrive knowing how to dive deep. You can learn breathing, relaxation, equalization, technique and essential safety procedures before gradually progressing.
And when your course is finished, you already have some extraordinary places around Coron and Busuanga to explore.
