CORON ISLAND

Big Lagoon Coron Island

Big Lagoon, Coron Island is a serene limestone lagoon known for its expansive emerald waters, towering karst cliffs, and untouched natural atmosphere.

Barracuda Lake Scuba Diving

TOURIST DENSITY: Other tourists but very few divers

Barracuda Lake in Coron, Palawan, is a mesmerizing freshwater dive site famed for its dramatic halocline—a razor-sharp divide between fresh surface water and denser saltwater below—causing optical illusions, temperature shifts up to 38°C (ditch the wetsuit!), and a submerged "thermocline" fog. Dive into its sheer limestone walls, shadowy caverns, and prehistoric vibe for an unforgettable, otherworldly freshwater experience unlike ocean reefs.
