fantastic snorkeling and diving in Barracuda lake! I just loved exploring the rock formations, playing with the cat fish and shrimps and feeling the termocline!!! What a mystical and unique experience in a diving in a sacred lake

This was our 1st stop on day tour of Coron. As you walk in you see the beautiful lake. Walk in warm water.

Truly and amazing lagoon with gin-clear waters and dizzying depths. I suggest to swim and snorkel beside the rock formations since the view from underwater even at 10' depth is remarkable. If you look closely on the underwater face of the limestone rocks you could see shrimp and small catfish feeding on the rock faces.
Our tour guide Harold and his boatmen crew were very accomodating, patient and even entertaining. Some of our family members were very apprehensive in getting into the deep water even with their life vest that 2 of the crew volunteered to be their 1 on 1 "lifeguard" and guided them around the lagoon and even out in the open sea to enjoy the corals and the sea life on the nearby reefs. My family members calmed down after a few minutes and truly enjoyed the experience. We had them for 2 days doing our Coron tours.

This was my third time visiting Barracuda lake. All this time, I thought the Barracuda was a myth. The place was more known for the underwater architecture and rock formations, but I was pleasantly surprised to have finally witnessed the barracuda.

It took about 1.5 hours of just floating around and looking when the barracuda finally showed itself. With enough patience, you can catch a glimpse of it too!

I almost decided not to make the effort to visit this "stop" on the tour. The access is via a dangerous set of crude, unsafe steps - in the "west", referred to as a lawsuit carnival - which are almost as steep as a ladder. However; your reward for making the short, dangerous journey is a fantastic lake nestled in a limestone crater, with crystal clear, clean water. Take your swim vest... you will want to float and swim here for a while. We visited at a time when most of the crowds were gone for the day. It was quiet. We listened to the echo of the birds singing in the forest of trees at the base of one of the cliffs across from the swimming area... Magical and beautiful, and you realize that you are indeed fortunate for the opportunity to visit places like this on our Earth.

We spent roughly an hour rooming down the lake while diving (max. depth 28m) and the experience was great. The transitions between the halocline/termocline is drastic and the landscape makes the diving in itself.

This is a magical little spot that MUST be on your dive list during your time in Coron. Perfect for families. The diving is unlike any other dive spot I've ever seen! Thermoclines, solitary barracuda, other-worldly critters - it is mesmerizing.
