There are a large number of WWII wrecks around Subic Bay. Subic Bay Wreck Diving is quite unique as we have a L2D “Tabby” (Japanese DC-3) airplane, Vietnam era F4 Phantom, a Douglas A-1 Skyraider and even a Spanish American Warship, the “San Quentin“.
Subic Bay offers a perfect habitat for these wrecks as they are tucked in away from most of the harsh weather that can hit the Philippines and which has preserved these historical monuments for decades.
What really makes Subic Bay Philippines a special place for wreck diving is that most of the wrecks fall within the recreational diving limits, which means visiting these fascinating worlds doesn’t require any special technical training. Read More: https://www.arizonadivesubic.com/wreck-diving/

Many wreck divers from around the world consider Subic Bay shipwrecks among the best in the world as Subic continues to become a favorite diving exploration destination for underwater adventurers.

Subic, as a municipality, is a location which directly faces the sea. Although its waters are not what many people would consider as “world class,” let alone close enough to the ideal, Subic’s most significant pull still undoubtedly lies in its seawaters. Unknown to some, Subic is a site for the most considerable number of sunken ships which outnumbers even that of Coron which capitalized on the idea as popular dive sites.
Although the waters of Subic are not what any person with significant experience being on the sea would call as rough as they are generally calm, some of the wreckage that took place in its shores harkens back hundreds of years. But the significant contribution to this list of sunken sea vessels is undeniably rooting from the events of World War II which had a handful of Japanese ships sinking in its waters.
Now, a good number of these wrecks were already cleaned up post-World War II to give way for the region’s booming shipping business; still, a small fraction of them is believed to be at the depths of Subic’s sea. Like the case in Coron, Subic also invests in the notion of having the sunken sites for tourism. Read More: https://travelinglikeapro.com/2019/05/21/2019-subic-zambales-travel-guide/
