The Kogyo Maru is a Japanese freighter wreck located in Coron, Philippines.

Divers can explore six holds, the engine room, and the bridge area. Notable features include a bulldozer and an incline of cement bags located within the second hold. Access is by boat only, and the site is suited for advanced divers due to moderate currents, potential for entanglement, and visibility ranging from 5 to 15 metres. Dives typically last 45 minutes in water temperatures between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius.
