Atlantis Adventurer Itinerary

Apo Reef - Coron

Days 1-2: Apo Reef and Tara Islands

The UNESCO heritage site of Apo Reef will be our destination for the first day. Shark Ridge is a great place to see whitetip and blacktip reef sharks. Manta rays are sometimes spotted here as well as hawksbill turtles and bumphead parrotfish. Binangaan Drop Off is another fantastic location with huge schools of snappers and tuna. Look out for spotted eagle rays in the blue as well as other pelagic species. At the end of our second day, we’ll offer an optional visit to Coron’s hot springs. 

 
Days 3-4: Coron Wrecks

Coron is a mecca for wreck divers. We begin to explore the Japanese shipwrecks from the Second World War, including the Okikawa Maru, a 160-meter-long ship that was sunk by a direct hit on the bow area. We also dive the Olympia Maru, a massive 120-meter vessel, and the East Tangat Gunboat, a shallow dive on this 140-meter-long submarine hunter that is ideal for exploration. The two main boilers are a big attraction where hard coral growth is extensive,, and there are plenty of scorpion fish on the decks. We also explore the Akitsushima, one of Coron’s most famous dives, a wreck of the seaplane tender, and the Irako, a refrigeration ship for the Japanese Imperial Navy.

Day 6: Kyokuszan Maru

We open our 6th day with two deep morning dives at Kyokuszan in Maricaban Bay off the island of Busuanga Island, Coron. Kyokuzan was an auxiliary supply ship of the Japanese Royal Navy sunk by a US carrier-based aircraft. She is approximately 140 meters long, with beautiful corals grown over car parts, tires, and the body of the ship. We then cruise back to Puerto Galera.
