Dive-site story
Resting off the northwest coast of Coron Island, this shallow shipwreck features the exposed steel ribs of a scuttled World War II Japanese supply boat. The keel slopes downward along a coral-fringed reef, offering clear views from the surface while descending toward sandy seabed terrain. Both divers and freedivers frequent the site due to the calm bay conditions and easy navigation around the open hull structure.
Open steel ribcage structure encrusted with hard corals, sponges, and hydroids
Reef slope teaming with schooling damselfish, cardinalfish, and juvenile sweetlips
Excellent ambient lighting for wide-angle wreck photography without deep deco obligations
