Cathedral Cavern in Coron is a unique site featuring a short tunnel that leads to an internal chamber partially filled with water. A hole in the ceiling allows daylight to illuminate the space, creating distinct lighting effects. The dive typically concludes on the adjacent reef slope. Depths range from 6 to 25 metres with an average of 15 metres. Visibility is generally between 20 and 30 metres. As the entrance faces the open ocean, the site is weather dependent and requires boat access. Divers should be prepared for variable currents and the overhead environment within the cavern. This site is suitable for intermediate divers.
