Barracuda Lake, Coron

Barracuda Lake is located at the north shore of Coron Island in the Philippines. This location offers one of the most awesome diving experiences in the world. Occasionally referred to as Luluyuan Lake by locals, its crystal blue waters hidden between majestic rocky formations does not actually have barracudas and other wildlife. Instead, divers can experience a thermocline and halocline unlike anywhere else. Starting out on the surface of the lake, divers, swimmers, and scuba enthusiasts can expect temperatures around 82 degrees Fahrenheit. But as you descend into the depths of the lake, around 45 to 50 feet down, the temperature drastically changes to just over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (to put that in perspective, most people keep their hot tubs at 104 degrees, so it’s best to forego a wetsuit here).

Barracuda Lake in Coron is deep, with limestone formations and crevices underwater, perfect for diving. Life vests are available to keep you afloat while enjoying the rocky scenes. It's enchanting!
