About FAGG REEF (WWII Tanks)
FAGG REEF (WWII Tanks) is a boat-access offshore reef shelf in La Union with a steep wall, a deep ledge holding WWII tanks, and a current-prone blue-water profile. It is best planned as an experienced-diver run with a knowledgeable guide and a calm enough window to hold position on the drop-off. The site rewards orderly descent, solid buoyancy, and a willingness to sit out the dive when the current or sea state looks wrong.

Local Intel For FAGG REEF (WWII Tanks)
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Advanced scuba is the natural fit: boat drop, steep wall, current planning, and a ledge feature that quickly turns into deeper water.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target; the main feature sits below breath-hold depth and the site can run with strong current.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkeling-first site. The tanks and main reef feature sit too deep for useful snorkel viewing.
