Coron - one of the most popular scuba diving and snorkeling destinations in Philippines. From island hopping, to delicious sea food (cooked on boats); from enjoying the corals #beautiful to diving at
World War 2 Japanese ship wrecks #Vintage!!
Some of the best locations were Malcapuya island, Kayangan lake, Barracuda lake, Buloc dos island, World war 2 ship wrecks diving and mt. Tapas. Oh and don't forget the hot spring.
While going to Kayangan lake, you need to hike a few steps, and the view from the top is amazing.

At the Kayangan lake you can swim across the lake, and into a small cave.

| Reaching Barracuda lake |
Barracuda lake is a fresh water lake in the midst of the ocean - more like a lime stone mountain in the middle of the ocean, shaped like a bowl, holding the lake within. There's rock formation from where you can try cliff jumping, swim to the middle of the lake (which is kind of scary).
The islands and beaches at Coron... oh what a sight! Clear waters, fishes, corals, hammocks and the sun :)

I also got attacked by small fishes. I was snorkeling, without disturbing the waters much or making much noise, so I could see the fishes swim around and not get scared. This one fish (white) swims to my face and turns back (I smile thinking 'yei swimming with the fishes'); it comes again and goes back. Does this couple of times, I am happy smiling. And before I know it there is a really big group of small fishes around me. Woah! .. And then one nibbles on me!! That's it, time to get out ;) I think they thought I am (or have) food. Phewsh, came back alive ;)
I wish I had an underwater camera to capture the world war ship wrecks and our swim inside the wrecks. And capture the beautiful marine life you can see while snorkeling and diving.
Unarguably, one of the best places to dive. Get a flight from Manila to get to Coron and enjoy the delicious food, beaches, snorkeling and diving. Carry a kayak on your boat, stay put at an island overnight, and climb to Mt. Tapas!
