Dive-site story
Resting upright in Coron Bay, this Japanese refrigeration supply ship was sunk by American air raids in late 1944. The vessel remains one of the best-preserved deep wreck dives in the region, featuring intact superstructure elements, cavernous cargo holds, and auxiliary machinery spaces. Because the hull sits deep on a silt seabed, careful buoyancy control is essential to avoid disturbing visibility inside the holds.
Nearly intact upright hull structure resting on the seabed
Expansive cargo holds and passageways suitable for trained penetration divers
Dense schools of pelagic fish circling the masts and superstructure
