Why This Crystal Clear Lake Is Popular For Divers

Barracuda Lake, aka Luluyuan Lake, is a popular diving spot on Coron Island in the Philippines. It’s famous for its thermocline, which is a steep temperature change in a body of water. The lake also contains both salt water and fresh water and is surrounded by limestone cliffs, making it a unique diving experience.

I feel like humans should just leave the lake alone before it gets ruined

True

[@gibberish1014]

Let's just leave polluted lakes alone so they can spread to other lakes and wonder why this keeps happening instead of actually helping.

For all the people, This lake is protected by the local government through strict rules. This lake has also been a tourist spot even before i was born, and due to it's strict rules and regulations the water hasn't been trashed by tourists ever since it was opened.

[@moriel01]

*_For people saying to just leave it, FYI, it wasn't discovered yesterday and it's been a tourist spot for more than 15 years and the water is still super clear, and tourists are literally just swimming in less than 1% of the whole area of the lake so you need to relax people, this lake is really BIG. Shown in this video is just less than 1% of the whole lake and there are no developments around the lake. I've been there twice._* 😁

[@jnelle2319]

I was here last summer!!! this is a very touristy spot but the water is still clear. The thermocline is not drastic but it’s noticeable :-)

I'm scared of seeing a huge shark or a terrifying specie of some sort blasting towards you from the dark depths of that place and their dark shape gets lighter and lighter until you can't tell what the animal is. Idk why but that certain body of water and that darkness at the bottom scares me. Or even a submarine that the military owns. That would be scary too, getting hit by the blades as it's coming up? And they have been doing research under there for so long and nobody knew they were being watched. Just stuff that came over me while I watched. First time I felt like that.

[@mxrshll9929]

Ppl from all around the world has already visited this place, i live in the philippines and yet i dont even know that this lake existed here :

[@iamkenignacio]

I remember the time when I came here, there was news that 2 russian tourists died while diving in Barracuda Lake the day before I arrived. it took a couple of days before the found the bodies at the bottom of the lake. the crazy thing about it is that their group didn't know they were missing until they came back to their hotel. they thought the two guys returned to their hotel without them.
