Coron Chronicles: Underwater

By Wanderingjoshua
Coron is astonishing underwater as it is above it. I had the chance to snorkel different coral gardens during my Coron tour around different islands.

The coral gardens I got to visit were: Twin Peaks, CYC Coral Garden, Smith Coral Garden, Skeleton Wreck. All of the snorkeling spots I got to visit were great in their own way.

The ocean floor was covered in different colored corals. It was no wonder why the snorkeling spots were called 'coral gardens'. The corals formed bouquets of different colors. I couldn't help but take numerous photos of the corals I saw underwater.

The spectacle underwater in Coron was not limited to corals there were also a lot of colored fishes swimming around.

I wasn't able to catch good photos of the other colored fish underwater they were too fast for me. Some of the tourists who were with me said they saw sea turtles and clown fish which, unfortunately, I was unable to see.
Shipwreck Coron
There were also shipwrecks in different parts of Coron, but the wreck site I was able to visit was the Skeleton Wreck. There are other wreck sites but those were a separate tour and would require scuba diving gear to visit.

There are other snorkel and dive sites all over Coron these are only some of the few I was able to visit. I would like to visit the other dive and snorkel sites when I visit Coron again. I thought Coron's beauty only lies in its natural physical attractions the island was also beautiful beneath its dark, emerald waters.
