For the first time, I tried Coron freediving and it really surprised me! The East Tangat Wreck was beyond this world, and the Coral Garden was gorgeous. The group ensured that everything went smoothly and that we were safe. I recommend this tour very much to solo adventurers!
We had a fantastic day with our group! Each plunge was full of thrill, starting from the Lusong Gun Boat to the Coral Garden. Freediving in Coron should definitely be on your list of things to do, and the guides on this tour were simply the best!
