CYC Reef
Dive site
CYC Reef (named for Club YC, an island just offshore) is Coron's most popular shallow coral dive, providing a contrast to the wreck diving that defines the area. Healthy hard coral formations start at 3 meters and gently slope to 18 meters where bommies host schools of glassfish and hunting trevally. The site is almost always the last dive of a three-dive day trip, combining well with morning wreck dives when divers are nitrogen-restricted. Turtle sightings are regular, and the shallow end is exceptional for snorkelers and Open Water divers.
