About Akitsushima
Akitsushima is a large World War II seaplane-tender wreck in Coron Bay, lying on her port side with a dramatic crane, broken superstructure, and cargo spaces that make it one of the area's signature wreck dives. The site is best suited to experienced divers who are comfortable with depth, silt, and overhead-environment discipline, and it rewards a careful dive with schooling fish, resident lionfish, nudibranchs, and striking wreck structure.
