Philippines Underwater Archaeology, Shipwreck and Salvage Resources
This is my resource link page for useful information on Philippines underwater archaeology, shipwreck resources and information about marine salvage. With a rich maritime history, including lots of action during World War Two, the Philippines has an impressive collection of wrecks; many of which are yet to be discovered. This makes the Philippines a prime location for underwater archaeology, treasure hunters and technical scuba divers.
Please do let me know if you encounter any ‘dead’ links.
Philippines Underwater Archaeological Society
The Philippines Underwater Archaeological Society collates useful information about wrecks within the Philippines area of responsibility.

Hi –
I’m searching for any video’s of underwater shipwrecks from WW2 in the Manila Bay, Philipines. My Grandfather’s brother Ken Mills was killed in Feb. 1945 onboard – LCS (L) (3) 7 It was a smaller size battle ship. Three of these were hot & sunk by the Japanese suicide fishing boats. Is there someone/diver who has ever dove upon any of these in the Manila Bay?
