During a trip to Coron, we suggest that you take the chance to try scuba diving as the destination is really famous for its dive sites. Whether you are a beginner, an expert or an avid diver, check out these useful tips to make the most out of your Coron diving adventure.

DO YOUR RESEARCH. There are numerous beautiful and distinct diving spots in Coron depending on what it is you seek for. Dive at Barracuda Lake if you fancy an unusual experience of plunging into hot and cold thermal waters, or explore the sunken World War 2 Japanese shipwrecks at Coron Bay which has been listed in Forbes Traveler’s “World’s 10 Best Scuba Spots” in 2007, or feed your eyes with astonishing underwater architectures and friendly creatures at the Coral Garden.

 

 

Once you have done your research and drafted an itinerary for your diving trip, the next step is to ensure you BOOK THE RIGHT ACCOMMODATION. Ideally, choose a resort that offers dive tours or packages to save you from the hassles of having to do the process of booking the tour yourself. Another thing to consider is the location of your resort, make sure it is easily accessible and in close proximity to the dive sites you want to visit. Discovery Coron does not only offer relaxing accommodations but it has several dive sites surrounding the area.

 

 

KNOW THE BEST DIVING SEASONS. This is one of the most essential advices to take to heart because as we all know when it comes to the weather, there are no guarantees. The most we can do is to schedule your Coron diving adventure on days where the waters are usually calm and the weather is mostly sunny. Although diving in Coron can be done year round, the best months to visit are from November to June.
