Okikawa Maru

The Okikawa Maru, an oil tanker on the order of 160 m, is the friendliest big ship in Coron: her main deck lies at just 10-16 m, shallow enough for long, unhurried laps of a hull that seems to go on forever. Corals and anemones have colonized the deck fittings so thoroughly that parts read as reef, patrolled by batfish, sweetlips, and turtles. The bow section, mangled by the 1944 attacks and later salvage, makes dramatic wide-angle scenery, and trained divers can thread the propeller-shaft tunnel and pump spaces. Generous light, generous time; many divers log their first-ever wreck penetration here.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Shallow sprawling tanker deck, coral-and-anemone overgrowth, approachable first penetrations

टोपोग्राफी: Nearly upright hull on sand around 26 m

करंट: More exposed than the inner bay wrecks; current over the deck is common and occasionally calls the dive.

प्रवेश: Moored off Concepcion on Busuanga's west side; the longest boat ride of the main fleet from Coron town.

खतरे: Current over the deck, entangling lines near the bow wreckage, and silt in the shaft tunnel.

संरक्षण: Part of the protected 1944 fleet; no artifact recovery, no souvenir chipping.

Nitrox: यहाँ इसका फ़ायदा है — प्रोफ़ाइल उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop समय को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
