From the book "Puerto Galera. Roads of corsairs", episode 6.
There is the ship hidden under the water at the Western part of the bay opposite the village of Sabang. This is the Filipino (or may be Japanese) cargo ship that sank in 2003. It is quite large (about 15 meters) standing on its keel at a depth of 30-33 meters and slowly overgrown with soft corals and sea lilies. Its hold is open, it is possible to dive in. Perches roam inside and around, as well as large sweetlips, platax.. As well as divers :)
In recent decades they practiced a special sinking of obsolete ships, the ships serve as the basis for the formation of coral reef and marine life around it. May be the ship was sumerged here deliberately, we do not know exactly. Anyway, the attraction is nice: there are mysterious dark holds here, strange fishes, a lot of divers, a lot of bubbles – beautiful! :) Look at this:
