Has anyone dove these Davao WW 2 Shipwrecks?

[McCDiver]

For the novice wreck diver, the World War 2-era Japanese cargo ships a few meters from the shores of Pearl Farm are a great starting point. Located in 100-feet of calm, clear water, the wrecks are all relatively intact and teeming with marine life. The ships, which were sunk towards the latter end of the war – purportedly by the same US naval task force that sank the wrecks now at the bottom of Coron Bay, in Palawan – still carry the visible bomb scars that sent them to the bottom.

"Technical divers will also have a field day exploring the remains of the Sagami Maru in Talomo Bay on the Southeast side of the gulf. The ill-fated submarine USS Seawolf sank the ship, once the pride of the NYK Line, in 270-feet of water on November 2, 1942. Today the Sagami lies at the bottom, her cargo holds full of Japanese trucks and motorcycles and tons of undelivered war supplies, just waiting to be explored."

You'd be better off posting this in the Philippines regional forum or the wreck diving forum.
