El Capitan Wreck
14° 46.0′ N · 120° 15.4′ E
A roughly 3,000-ton freighter (ex-USS Majaba) lying on her port side off Camayan Point. It is the most-dived site in Subic Bay and a classic wreck-training dive, shallow enough to snorkel over the starboard rail.
Practical
OSM position near the mouth of Ilanin Bay, off Ocean Adventure. The port side rests at about 20 m, the starboard side 5-8 m below the surface (Wikipedia), so it works for snorkellers and new divers alike. Forward and aft holds are open, and trained divers can enter the engine room and centre hold. Sank in 1946. Use a dive operator from Barretto or the Freeport; there are no public moorings for yachts.

Easy wreck dive and wreck training
