Wreck Hunters: 1x4

Kyokuzan Maru

In the morning of September 24, 1944, during the 2nd World War, the Americans did a surprise air strike and bombed several Japanese warships off the coast of Coron, Palawan. One of the vessels that were hit in that battle was the Kyokuzan Maru. Relatively intact and sunk in a close to upright position, it is by far one of the most exciting wrecks to dive in as it has all the elements one would imagine from a Japanese warship. Harder to find yet definitely worth the trip.
