Raggs II (LOB) - Coron Wrecks and Apo reef : (5 days / 6 nights)
On September 24, 1944 this island was a witness to the US Navy's aerial bombardment of several Japanese cargo and support vessels, which had sought shelter in this protected bay. This attack was in retaliation to the Pearl Harbour attack.

About Ragg II
Rags II is based on a traditional Philippine style 'Banka' with outriggers 27 m long and 4.5 m wide, which makes for a very stable platform to dive from and sleep on.

Radar, GPS, Depth finders, VHF Radio, Digital charts, Satellite Phone etc. On board, there are 8 spacious berths in 4 x twin air-conditioned cabins; each cabin has individual lockable storage space and drawers for your personal belongings.
Our cook prepares many types of sumptuous Philippine and Western food using local seafood and produce. If you're vegetarian, please let us know and we'll cater for you especially.
The dive deck is spacious - with individual baskets below your allocated tank space, a central table to keep things handy before your dive, and wetsuit hangers for when you get back. Technical divers will surely enjoy our deco bar which supplies Oxygen at the 6m and 3m stop, if conditions allow.
