About this site
The Landing Ship Tank is a World War II landing ship wreck in Subic Bay, and the largest of the assault craft sunk there during US Marine amphibious training after the war. The design was about 100 m (328 ft) long with a 15 m (50 ft) beam, built to carry vehicles, cargo and troops directly onto a shore.
The wreck lies at 30 to 36 m, and the bottom of the wreck is about 34 m. It is often used for deep and wreck training, and is a good place to test your reaction to nitrogen narcosis. Its holds give an overhead environment free of entanglements and with an unobstructed view of the exits. After a brief tour of the hold you can explore the deck.
A school of barracuda lives permanently next to the wreck, and some divers claim to have seen bull sharks nearby.
