I've just returned from a week in Coron. There are now 3 airlines operating 50-60 seat turboprop aircraft and offering some pretty good deals. I got a return Manila-Busuanga airfare for about $45 with Zest Air. Cebu Pacific airlines and PAL Express had similar prices. Excess baggage (ie over 10kg) was about $4/kg. This is a big improvement over the previous 19 seat LET410 aircraft that was so unreliable you would avoid going at all costs. The road from the airport to Coron is being concreted at the moment, with completion due in a few months. The dive shops are able to offer good private transfers for about $3 each way...forget the Jeepney!
I dived with Dive-Cal and stayed at Dive-Link resort on Uson Island. I really enjoyed myself - great people, good service and fantastic diving in a very spectacular part of the world. I didn't want to leave!
