Dive bases and accommodations in Coron and El Nido
In Coron Bay, US Navy aircraft sank Japanese ships on September 24, 1944, including the Irako, the Akitsushima, and the Olympia Maru. Pirates Diving Center in Coron goes out daily, usually to two wrecks and then to a reef or Barracuda Lake on Coron Island. The Lusong Gunboat and the Olympia Maru are diveable with Corto Divers with just an Open Water certification, while the Okikawa Maru and the Akitsushima require an Advanced certification from the base. El Nido is located on the northwestern tip of Palawan in Bacuit Bay, a marine protected area where the bases' boats travel to Cadlao, Helicopter, and Miniloc Islands.
With this booklet, you can choose a dive base and accommodation together. It compares the dive bases and the guesthouses, indicating which base and house reef belong to which guesthouse and how far the walk to the boat is. For each accommodation, it states whether there is space to rinse and dry your equipment and if an early breakfast is available. For non-diving days, the booklet lists restaurants and excursions, each with a link to a map.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print as a booklet at home.
