See 10 wreck pictures and a Coron Bay wreck diving site map below. These wrecks are now artificial reefs teeming with hard and soft coral and marine life. Sunk at anchor, you can dive the deck of our deepest wreck at 36 meters. For serious wreck divers our "interesting" dives are penetrations into the wrecks done at 24 to 43 meters depth. You should read, "Wreck Diving with Dive Right-Coron" to understand how everyone can dive the wrecks of Coron Bay.
Most people and many divers have misconceptions about wreck diving and nitrox diving. Nitrox is NOT used as a gas for deep diving! Nitrox extends your bottom time when you are diving a horizontal dive site like a wreck. If you can't make a multi-level dive nitrox lets you stay at one depth longer than on air.
In cooperation with most local resorts, Dive Right-Coron offers a great variety of complete travel, transfer, lodging, meals and diving packages. We don't own rooms or a resort so we can steer you into the bet lodging for your taste, budget and preference.
