Coron sits on Palawan in the Philippines and is best known as a gateway to world-class wreck and reef diving in the Sulu Sea. The area features accessible macro and large-structure sites from liveaboards and local dive centers, with easy shore dives and boat trips to known wrecks and vibrant reefs. Expect warm tropical water, modest currents, and good visibility near the islands. With several dive shops and operators nearby, Coron is a practical base for both beginners and experienced divers exploring the Palmer’s wrecks, coral gardens, and underwater topography in the vicinity.
