Lake is also found in the Northern Coron Island. If you don't yet know how to dive, learn to safely dive
the wrecks with our team of experienced professionals
Among the famous wrecks found in Coron Island are the following:
1. The Japanese tanker Okikawa is an excellent diving site for wreck diving beginners. There are many
superstructures to shelter and watch school of fish while avoiding some currents brought about by its
strategic location on a channel. The maximum depth is 24m.
2. The Japanese seaplane tender Akitsushima is a warship plane that was split into half after it was
bombed. The engine room is the most interesting place to explore. It is a good Nitrox dive. Maximum
depth is 36m.
3. The Japanese freighter provides a possible penetration of the whole ship. The top of the ship is
covered with both hard and soft corals and wide marine life. This is also a good Nitrox dive. Maximum
depth is 34m.
4. The Japanese freighter Olympia has an abundant marine life and coral reefs. This is one the best
wreck diving site to discover and explore. Many new and exciting things are always seen in this wreck.
Maximum depth is 33m.

shower room with light bulbs still intact. Maximum depth is 26.
6. The Japanese submarine hunter Tirukaze Maru was given its official name in 2002 when 6 Dutch
divers meticulously burrow the sand to find the name of this used to be unknown ship. An excellent
dive for photographers and less experienced divers. It is a wreck and reef dive in one where branching
corals and miniature reef fish are also housed in the shallow level of the wreck. Maximum depth is
19m.
7. The Gun boat that used to be a tugboat is a great place for snorkeling. Next to the shipwreck is a 3-
18m reef life that underwater photographers will find as an amazing place to take pictures. Maximum
depth is 11m.
