TITAN 8

Okay, so the TITAN 8 in Subic Bay. You're not going deep here, not even close. This is a 3-meter maximum, and honestly, we love it for that. It’s a genuinely dangerous wreck, a motor vessel that somehow ended up stove in just beneath the surface. You feel the history of it, lying there in pieces, almost like a ghost ship just out of reach. What makes it special? The light. It filters through the surface, illuminating the broken hull sections and twisted metal, creating these incredible shafts of light that dance around the wreckage. It’s like a spotlight on the coral and sponges that have colonised every available surface. Schools of tiny silversides shimmer around the structure, and we often spot pipefish tucked into crevices. It’s a macro dream, too, with nudibranchs and flatworms making their homes on the encrusted steel. Our favourite time to dive it is mid-morning, when the sun is high and the visibility is usually at its best. It's a perfect second or third dive, easy on the air, and surprisingly atmospheric for such a shallow site. You'll spend ages just exploring the nooks and crannies.
