Discovering WW2 Japanese Wrecks Diving
Beneath the turquoise waters of Coron Bay lies one of the world’s most famous underwater museums — the WWII Japanese Shipwrecks of Palawan. These hauntingly beautiful relics, sunk during a U.S. air raid in 1944, now rest peacefully on the seabed, transformed into thriving coral ecosystems teeming with marine life. Divers can explore over 10 historic wrecks, from massive oil tankers to smaller gunboats, all preserved in crystal-clear water.
With water temperatures averaging 28°C to 30°C and visibility often exceeding 20 meters, the Coron wrecks provide world-class diving conditions for both beginners and advanced divers. While most tours attract large groups, LXV offers private, guided wreck dives scheduled before or after the mass tourism rush, ensuring a calm and intimate underwater experience.
Even though LXV prioritizes exclusivity and tranquility, these wrecks are so historically and visually remarkable that we proudly include them in our luxury yacht charters and diving expeditions. For elite travelers, LXV can arrange private dive yachts, PADI-certified dive masters, and luxury onboard setups, offering an unmatched blend of history, adventure, and sophistication.
