Coca Cola Wreck - Bohol
The Coca Cola Wreck off Bohol isn't just any old sunken boat, it's a personality. This isn't some deep, dark historical relic, it's a lively, approachable wreck, perfect for a chilled-out dive. We love that it sits comfortably in the shallows, meaning longer bottom times and plenty of light filtering through the water. What you get here is a charming old cargo vessel, now completely taken over by the reef. The real joy is poking around the cargo holds, seeing how the light plays on the soft corals that have blossomed inside. You'll spot lionfish lurking in the shadows, curious batfish circling overhead, and nudibranchs adding pops of colour to the rust-encrusted metal. Our favourite find is usually a moray eel peeking out from a pipe. It's an easy dive, often with gentle currents, making it ideal for newer wreck divers or those who just want to soak in the atmosphere without battling the elements. Go early morning; the light is perfect and you often have the place to yourselves.
