Barracuda Lake

About this site

Barracuda Lake on Coron Island is a unique inland dive site accessible via a short scramble over sharp karst limestone. The lake has distinct thermoclines — warm freshwater sits above cool sea water — creating an eerie shimmering effect known as a halocline. The namesake pickhandle barracuda are joined by catfish and monitor lizards that swim in the shallows, making this one of diving's most unusual and unforgettable experiences.
