The tourism office for the area calls Subic Bay the “Pearl of the
Orient” and much like a pearl, it value is hidden unless you know where
to look. The area offers a wide variety of wrecks to dive as well as
reefs. Unlike Coron where you ride for hours to get to a wreck site,
the majority of Subic sites are within 20 minutes of the dive centers.
In addition, unlike most other places in the Philippines, the dive
boats used are conventional boats not local banca.
Just how many wrecks are there in Subic Bay and around its entrance?
That is a very difficult question. Unlike Coron or Truk, whose wrecks
occurred over a relatively short period, Subic’s WWII wrecks covered
almost the entire war period. No less than 25 Japanese ships were
reported sunk during the war years. . It is widely believed that an
additional ten large ships may lie within the Bay. The area is not
limited to WWII wrecks, at the entrance to the bay alongside Grande
Island, is the remains of the Spanish American war wreck San Quintin.The last few years have seen a dramatic growth in the number of dive operators in the Bay area. In 1998 there was only one full time operator at Subic today there are seven. .
