Wreck Diving Courses in Subic Bay, Philippines

Wreck diving courses are a thrilling and challenging specialist activity for scuba divers. Exploring the interior of shipwrecks is considered one of the most perilous activities a diver can undertake. However, with proper training, the right mindset, and appropriate equipment, wreck divers can mitigate those risks and safely enjoy this exciting adventure. My wreck diving courses in Subic Bay deliver all that… and more!

Wreck diving courses in Subic Bay

All of my wreck diver courses are completed on the amazing wrecks of Subic Bay. There are thirty different wrecks available to dive; ranging from Japanese and American military shipwrecks, several aircraft wrecks, and even some WWII military armored vehicles. Shallow site depths allow for unparalleled in-water training time and superior course results.

As a technical wreck diving instructor with three different training agencies, I have decades of cutting-edge experience and expertise in expeditionary wreck diving and advanced wreck penetration techniques. This wealth of experience and expertise ensures a second-to-none level of wreck training. Unlike many advanced wreck instructors, who only have the opportunity to penetrate wrecks occasionally, this is my routine day-to-day diving!
