Dive
Subic Bay
Olongapo and Subic Bay in the western portion of the island of Luzon of
the
Philippines provides a very unique dive and vacation experience.
As a scuba diving destination it provides an outstanding selection of
wrecks to dive on. Historical wrecks such as the USS New York, an Armor
Cruiser built before the Spanish American war, the Oryoku Maru, A
luxury cruise ship converted to use in WWII by the Japanese to
transport POW in hellish conditions, one of the infamous “Hell Ships”,
and the Seian Maru, a Japanese freighter sunk in the closing days of
WWII. These three wrecks are within 500 meters of each other and as
close to 300 meters from shore. In addition to these three dive sites,
seven other ship wrecks are within Subic bay within reach of the
recreational diver. Tech divers can add even more sites. While Subic
Bay is known for her wrecks, the bay also has some nice reefs to dive.
As a tourist center Subic Bay can offer a wide range of activities, in
addition to the diving and water sports there are three theme parks as
well as jungle
adventures. A full range of hotels, resorts, restaurant and nightlife
rounds out Subic Bay as the ideal dive and vacation destination.
