Coron Easy Diving Corporation

Established in 2001, Easy Diving has grown from a single beach resort in Sipalay into a multi-base operation covering some of the most sought-after diving in the Philippines. Their presence in Coron provides a gateway to some of the most famous wreck sites in the world, set against a backdrop of dramatic underwater landscapes.

The company operates weekly diving tours that move between the Visayas and Cagayan, offering a way to experience diverse marine ecosystems in a single trip. Whether you are looking for the sheltered reefs of the south or the deeper, more historical sites of the north, their established infrastructure provides a consistent standard of service.

Managed and owned by a Swiss team, the centre operates with a commitment to precision and high service standards. The staff are noted for being friendly and helpful, ensuring that the logistical side of your diving holiday runs smoothly.

The team is experienced in handling a wide range of diver profiles, from beginners through to those looking for more advanced training. Their expertise is particularly evident during their safari expeditions, where they manage the complexities of multi-day liveaboard diving.

The centre offers a comprehensive range of training, starting with foundational courses for those new to the sport. For those looking to advance their skills, they provide the PADI Advanced certification.

They also cater to divers interested in modern technology, offering a Full Face Mask Course. This allows you to explore the underwater world with a different perspective and enhanced communication capabilities.

The centre operates a fleet of three safari boats, designed to take you on extended expeditions through the Visayas and Cagayan. These liveaboards allow you to reach remote dive sites that are inaccessible from land-based resorts.

On the Cagayan safaris, the centre provides the ENOS system, which is integrated into their operations to ensure rapid and reliable rescue capabilities during your expeditions.

The dive shop is well-equipped and stocks recent dive computers for those who need them. For those travelling without their own kit, a range of equipment is available for hire.

To support longer bottom times and more frequent diving, Nitrox is available on-site. The centre also promotes environmental responsibility by offering free water refills for divers who purchase a metal souvenir bottle.

The waters around Coron are home to a diverse array of large pelagics and reef inhabitants. You can expect to encounter turtles and various species of reef fish navigating the structures. Large fish and Great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) are also part of the regular marine life.

For those with an eye for the smaller details, the area is excellent for macro enthusiasts. You will find a variety of critters and shrimp (Caridea) amongst the reef, providing plenty of interest for underwater photographers.

The reef itself is built upon a rich foundation of hard corals and sea fans, which provide the necessary habitat for the local ecosystem. These structures host a constant movement of Butterflyfish (Chaetodon) and Angelfish (Pomacanthidae).

The best time to join a safari in the Visayas is between October and May. If you are heading towards Cagayan, the optimal window for diving is from December to the end of June.
