#110 Barracuda Lake, Coron

Awesome! Cool "hidden" lake where you have to walk a bit all geared up, just to find a paradise-type inland lagoon where you can actually dive with some interest. There are underwater thermoglydes, resulting to different water temperature layers. You start with the typical 27 degrees or so, but around 10 meters depths the temp increases suddenly to 30+++, closer to 40 to be exact. Wetsuit is absolutely unnecessary here, all I had was a pair of shorts. Below 18 meters you get back to the "cool" 27 degrees. At least one underwater cave connects the lake to the sea, around 50 meters depth. Diveable, but not this time. Great visibility. Apparently there is one barracuda here, but did't see it.

A lot of shrimps, little crayfish, catfish, rabbitfish

You can see the clouds at the sky from 30 meters deep.

Superb experience just for the pure beauty of it. Even there is not coral and not so many fish, this is as unique, special and different as it gets. It's an awesome place to visit even if you wouldnt care a crap about diving. Five star rating any time.
