El Capitan (USS Majaba) is a large upright World War II wreck in Subic Bay, resting on a silty slope with open deck lines, cargo spaces, and an easy exterior route around the hull. It is one of the bay's classic introductory wreck dives, combining straightforward boat access and generally mild conditions with schools of batfish, sweepers, jacks, and other reef life that gather around the structure.
