Why dive here
With 57+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks - LST offers some of Subic Bay's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-32°C, warmest May, June, July.
The LST in Subic Bay is a great example of how quickly nature reclaims a vessel. We’ve found it’s shallow enough for longer bottom times, and the wreck itself is quite broken up in places, making for some interesting swim-throughs if you're comfortable with overhead environments. Look for schools of batfish hanging around the main deck, and we've often spotted scorpionfish camouflaged on the hull. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, good for newer wreck divers or photographers wanting to spend time with the abundant fish life that has made this sunken landing craft home.
