Coron, located in the northern part of Palawan, is a well-known wreck-diving site among divers. It has 24 Japanese warships sunk at various depths to cater to divers with different diving experiences.  

Besides diving, Coron is known for its spectacular limestone cliffs, crystal-clear lakes, rejuvenating saltwater hot springs, white sand beaches, and stunning bay dotted with islands perfect for island hopping tours.

Dugongs are shy marine mammals found in coastal waters from East Africa to Southeast Asia.  They are herbivores that feed on seagrasses and can live for over 70 years in the wild.  Divers curious about these gentle giants get the chance to watch them in their habitat.
