Hi Matt,

PM me if you need help with reservations.....The most economical dive operator in Coron is SeaDive, but I will recommend Discovery Divers. They know better the wrecks, will recommend Ikitsushima and Irako Maru.

Coron has the clearest lakes in the Philippines, some can be dived, like barracuda lake others only for kayaking. They have hot springs.

There are to ways to get there by Ferry (12 hours) and by plain (Seair and asian spirit). If you decided to fly to Coron make sure you advice ticketing office that your equipment should fly with you, the plains are small and most of the times overweighted so they tend to leave some of the baggages. Make sure they understand . If not you will loose one day.

If you need help on reservations, lime, cylinders (3L), or any equipment let me know will have it shipped to Coron for you.

Our facilities in Subic will be operational by the end of the month, we are rebreather friendly operators just in case you want use our facilities. Our location is in Subic Bay Freeport.

Matt any news on training?

Cheers,

Ive been to Coron a few times, usually we book a cargo seat for the luggage/dive gear. Costs bugger all and tends to assist with getting luggage on the plane.
