A special place for divers who like wreck diving is Coron Bay close to Sangat island in Busuanga. I have visited this dive area twice (2000 and 2003) and I was impressed by beautifully covered wrecks They are in excellent condition and lie at depths that can be reached by sport divers (you can take Nitrox courses at the dive resort) and the dive guides know a lot about where to find all kinds of rare animals. We stayed both times at Sangat island - it is like staying in a paradise - very quiet but a nice little beach, comfortable bungalows and good food.

Please take note, that all dives on the wrecks have to be planned very carefully. I personally think a dive computer is a must, because it is very easy to get close to deco-time! There are buoys with lines on all wrecks and our dive guide always had a tank with a regulator hanging at 5m depth under the dive boat .

Our deepest dive was 35m to 39m on Irako where we did a very difficult dive through the kitchen and workrooms and 36m on Akitsushima where we dived through the large rent of the ship and past wheels, pipes and electric wires. I recommend these dives only for experienced divers. Just stay on the deck of these wrecks and enjoy the abundant life there!
