FU SAN

The FU SAN is a surprisingly fun dive, especially when you’re looking for something shallow and relaxed in Subic. We love it for its sheer accessibility; sitting upright at a max depth of 5 metres, it’s practically a snorkel. This isn't some dramatic, deep wreck, but its size, 117 metres long, means you still get that proper wreck feeling. The FU SAN ran aground in a typhoon back in '74, and you can really see how the bay has claimed it over the decades. Glide over the deck, which is now a bustling flat for small reef fish. You'll spot schools of juvenile snapper flitting in and out of the rusted holds. We've often found ourselves just hovering, watching the nudibranchs inching their way across the barnacle-covered metal. It’s an ideal site for new divers getting their first taste of a big wreck, or photographers wanting to play with ambient light and wide-angle shots without worrying about deco. If you time it right, a calm morning offers the best visibility, letting you appreciate the scale of the wreck from bow to stern.
