About This Dive Spot
Akitsushima is a wreck dive site featuring a seaplane tender that was originally constructed by the Japanese. This vessel was capable of maintaining, repairing, and supplying large aircraft at remote bases. After surviving the attack in Manila Bay, it was relocated to Coron Bay for safety. The wreck is home to various marine life, including sea fans, schools of cardinalfish, lionfish, brown-banded pipefish, nudibranchs, parrotfish, wrasse, and Moorish idols, providing a rich environment for divers to explore.
