🪖 Sunk in WWII, Now a Reef | Diving the Lusong Gunboat | Coron Bay, Philippines 🤿 🔱

🪖 Sunk in WWII, Now a Reef | Diving the Lusong Gunboat | Coron Bay, Philippines 🤿 🔱 In September 1944, American forces sank a fleet of Japanese ships in Coron Bay, Philippines — and today, those wrecks are some of the most extraordinary dive sites in the world. In this video, we explore the Lusong Gunboat, a shallow and beautifully preserved WWII Japanese shipwreck resting in the crystal-clear waters of Coron Bay. 🐟 We swim through massive schools of glass fish, explore the interior of the gunboat, and spend time on the stunning surrounding coral reef where we encounter cuttlefish, clownfish, electric clams (disco clams), and so much more. Whether you’re a wreck diver, a history buff, or just love stunning underwater footage — this one’s for you. 📍 Location: Lusong Gunboat (Lusong Coral Garden), Coron Bay, Palawan, Philippines 🗺️ Map Credit: Murillo Velarde, Pedro, and Nicolás De La Cruz Bagay.
