El Capitan - Subic Bay - PhilippinesThe El Capitan at Subic Bay is an American Freighter laying on its side in 24 meters, the side of the hull is covered with corals at 8 meters.There are many large open spaces for penetrations and small spaces for advanced penetrations.

You can see a video clip of diving on this wreck at - http://www.divebluerock.com/html/vclips.html

The Philippines has a ton of dive sites, but I mainly go to Subic Bay and Coron to dive the wrecks. I could describe the various dive sites, but you can learn much more about the diving and surrounding area by going to the web sites below. I have been to Subic Bay at least five times and I really enjoy the diving and surrounding area. My last trip was in October 2007. You can see photos of diving at Subic and Coron in the photo section of my profile. I can also send you a PowerPoint slide show about the wrecks at Coron.
