Okikawa Maru
Coron · Philippines
The Okikawa Maru is a massive 168-meter oil tanker — the largest wreck in Coron — resting at 15 to 33 meters with its shallow portions accessible to Open Water divers and its deep engine room requiring advanced certification. Prolific soft coral growth colors every surface in orange, pink, and purple, while the cavernous cargo holds create dramatic swim-through passages. The wreck's sheer scale and shallow entry make it an ideal introduction to Coron's wreck diving scene.
