Looking for a getaway filled with ocean and sunshine for days, brimming with natural beauty? Coron is definitely on your bucket list! This four-day diving trip will allow you to witness the vibrant coral reefs and explore the mysterious underwater world for the first time. Every dive is a delightful experience. No diving experience is necessary, making this trip easy for beginners and suitable for anyone who wants to experience the magic of the ocean.

🌊Highlights at a Glance:
Coron is renowned for its clear waters and rich underwater life. This trip focuses on diving: not only will you see vibrant coral formations and a diverse array of tropical fish, but you'll also experience shipwreck diving – akin to an underwater explorer! If you're planning your first dive, the instructors are professional and patient, and the facilities are exceptionally well-equipped.

🗓️Recommended Itinerary
Day 1
Upon arrival in Coron, it's recommended to stay at a resort near the pier to easily join a diving tour (typically, every dive shop will meet in the morning for departures).
Spend the afternoon exploring Coron town and experiencing the unique charm of the Philippine islands.

Day 2
Take a PADI diving course or Discovery Scuba Diving. Your instructor will provide a brief theoretical and equipment tutorial, then you'll dive in and explore the shallow coral reefs. The best part for beginners is relaxing your breathing and gradually adjusting to the feeling of floating underwater. There's no need to be afraid, as your instructor will be there for you every step of the way.

Day 3
Explore Coron's most famous shipwreck dive sites, such as Kayangan Lake and Barracuda Lake, as well as the Japanese shipwrecks in the waters. Diving underwater and witnessing history is a unique thrill.
Lunch will usually be served at a snorkeling spot. We recommend ordering a seafood meal from a dive shop, as the local ingredients are fresh and delicious. (For example, Coron Divers: Open 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM, located at Don Pedro Street, Barangay 4, Coron Town Proper.)

Day 4
You can choose to dive again or opt for snorkeling or island hopping. Coron's many small islands offer pristine white beaches, coconut palms, and creamy blue waters—a must-see! If you have time, you can also book a massage at a local spa to truly chill you out.

🔍Practical Tips:
- Don't be nervous on your first dive. Follow the instructor's instructions and slowly learn the basic breathing techniques. It won't take long to adjust and you'll be enjoying the feeling of drifting freely in the ocean.
- It's recommended to bring sun protection clothing, a swimsuit, and a waterproof bag. Choose environmentally friendly, reef-safe sunscreen to protect the coral reef ecosystem.
- Don't eat too much before your diving course. You can also take seasickness medication beforehand to prevent discomfort.
- Check your diving insurance before departure and choose a licensed, reputable dive shop (such as Coron Divers or Reggae Dive Center).

🏖️Transportation Tips
- There are direct flights from Manila to Coron Airport. Upon arrival, you can take a shared bus or arrange a transfer from your resort.
- Transportation in town is mostly by tuk-tuk, which is convenient and inexpensive for short commutes, costing around 20-30 pesos per trip.

🍽️ Food Recommendations
Coron Town has many restaurants specializing in seafood and Filipino barbecue, and the overwater La Sirenetta Restaurant & Bar is particularly popular.
Address: Real St, Coron Town Proper, Coron, Palawan
Hours: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM

A Coron diving trip is all about dancing with the sea and experiencing the tranquility and majesty of the underwater world. I was a bit nervous about my first dive, but with the instructor, it's truly stress-free to enjoy the wonders of nature.
