The Divers and Backpackers' Place to be in Coron - Busuanga SeaDive Resort
If you have not been to Coron yet, Busuanga SeaDive Resort is one of the best inexpensive places to stay in Busuanga Island, Palawan.
As was mentioned in my previous blog, Coron is both the name of the town and the island, Coron Town is part of Busuanga Island and Coron Island is part of Calamianes or Calamian Island where Busuanga Island is also a part of. Aside from Coron Island and Busuanga Island, the other main islands that are part of Calamian Group of islands are Culion Island and Linapacan Island.
