I recently had the chance to photograph several of the wrecks in Subic Bay, Philippines. We did some of the dives as tech dives, one, to the Banshu Maru, due to the depth (52 meters), others, in the 35-45 meter range, to get more bottom time.

The visibility was mixed, some dives inside the bay were a bit murky, while the viz at the F4 fighter jet wreck which is located just outside of the bay, was a good 20 meters.

There was quite a lot of nice marine life on the wrecks, like the frogfish below!

A big thanks to Kent and the crew at Arizona Dive Shop for the great diving experience!

A more detailed write-up of my trip, including some tips for wreck photography, is here.

Here are some pictures from my dives:

Beautiful photo of the Phantom! You certainly lucked out with the visibility on that one; much better than I found on it, week-before-last. (A very short visit for me, to avoid deco, even with 26% nitrox IIRC.)
