The 1 p.m. Discovery takes you this Tuesday to the Philippines, to the island of Coron, with its turquoise waters and lush vegetation. A paradise for divers.

It is one of the pearls of the Philippines, with its green and emerald sparkles. The island of Coron is now one of the most famous dive sites in the archipelago. Raymond Schwab is one of these privileged people. This Swiss pilot regularly offers breathtaking views of Coron. What strikes him is the beauty of these places, with an absence of industry or hotels that allow the waters to remain crystal clear.

An ideal place for diving

Coron also conceals another secret for diving enthusiasts. Part of the Japanese fleet was bombed here by the American army during World War II. AT a few meters deep, the wrecks are still there. “The real particularity is to have so many wrecks in the same area“, indicates Maël Roy, instructor for six years on the archipelago. Coron has become, thanks to its history and its geography, one of the most singular dive sites in the world.
