Coron Wreck Dives - July 2008 video dive report

[lowtempo]

Hi everyone.

I recently came from short 3 Day visit to Coron, Palawan to do some wreckdives. The first drive dive was the Kogyo Maru, where I saw a bulldozer inside the wreck as well as old cement bags. The next dive was Olympia Maru, where the light was good and penetrated the wreck well and last dive od the day was Barracuda Lake, where I saw a felt the extreme temperature chages... I even saw a baraccuda.

Here's a video of those dives.

The next day, we dove the Akitsushima which was just awesome! The current was strong that day, so the visability was not very good.

A video of the Akitsushima dive can be found here.

My last dive of Coron was the Tai Maru. This was a awesome dive, you have to be careful here as the ammunition can still found on the ship. The current was really strong on this dive, so gloves are highly recommended to hold onto something near the end of the dive.

A video of this dive can be found here.
