This is a very interesting and atipic dive ! Lake's name comes from a large barracuda living in the lake. First, you have to climb up a very steep incline. The top 4m of the lake water is fresh sweet water, below it is salt water. Temperatures range from 28 (from surface to 18m) to 40 degrees Celsius (from 14m to 35m). At approx. 35m the water changes from clear water to a brown color. There is a 30m penetration cave, at the bottom of the lake. Take care ! NW of Coron Island. Barracuda Lake is also known as Cayangan lake.

Anti aircraft guns are still placed on deck. The masts and the superstructure are very nice to swim through. Type: Japanese navy auxiliary supply ship Size: 170m long Between Olympia Maru and Irako wrecks. 2 mooring balls, one on each end of the wreck. Easy to find in moorings are in place.

This is a Japanese civilian cargo ship, sunk on 24 September 1944 by the Americans. It is around 112 meters long and lies between 12 and 26 meters deep. Lying on her starboard side this is a great wreck to dive, even during December, the visibility was good enough to enjoy. It has 2 boilers in the centre, open as salvager for the engines in the 60's and the torpedo's in the 40's took it's toll. Many fish of all types of species, especially scorpion fish live here. Corals are abundant too. Really a fantastic dive, for night or day! Access to the site is by boat from one of the various islands, the closest being Lusong Island, second is basuanga Island and third is Sangat Island. The Buoy clearly marks the spot.

Seven Islands is also known as Siete Pecados, Seven Rocks.

We came here looking for sharks and sea cows as they are both often spotted in this bay. Vis was low (April) as the sea was still active and high winds prevented us from taking a good look... never the less we saw plenty of turtles, giant cuttle fish in numbers, and large angel fish as well as some barracuda . If you have your own boat and compressor its worth diving and exploring this area. We explored this area for the first time ever with the help of Palawan national geographic society and the help of sheridan hotel in sabang beach who are looking to put up a dive shop. Until they do so it is a hard site to find and dive as you need to bring your own tanks and gear.. there is no dive shop there at this stage (April 2011). If you do explore the area until we get more information best you ask the local fisherman for local info.
