Select participants and date
The day begins before the harbor wakes: an outboard hum, the slap of clear water against the boat’s hull and the air already warm with salt and sun. As your banca slips between steep limestone silhouettes, the landscape narrows into soaring cliffs and sudden turquoise bowls — and you can feel the day arranging itself around the water.

Adventure Tips
Bring your own snorkel mask
Personal masks give better fit and clearer views; rentals can fog or leak — pack a defog solution.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply before boarding and reapply sparingly; this protects coral and keeps your skin safe under tropical sun.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shorelines and reef entries are common — shoes protect feet during shallow swims and beach landings.
Time your booking early
Morning departures usually mean calmer seas and better underwater visibility, especially at the wreck and Barracuda Lake.

History
Several wrecks around Coron are remnants of World War II naval clashes; over time these steel skeletons have become living reefs and informal underwater museums.
