About this site
The Lusong Gunboat lies in Coron Bay, Palawan, part of the cluster of Japanese wrecks sunk during American air raids in 1944. It sits in shallow water with a maximum depth of around 18 metres, rated an intermediate dive, and its shallow profile allows portions of the hull to be seen by snorkelers on the surface. Coron's wrecks in general are known for encrusted hulls and resident reef fish, though details beyond depth and difficulty are not part of the confirmed record for this particular site.
