Subic Recreations and Activities - Subic Olongapo Philippines

Scuba Diving
Subic Bay known as the “Pearl of the Orient” and much like a pearl, it value is hidden unless you know where to look. While scuba diving is becoming increasingly popular in the Philippines and more international divers are arriving, the growth of diving in Subic Bay while growing is doing so at a slower rate. As a long time diver at Subic I find this lack of respect as a diving destination a puzzle.

The area offers a wide variety of wrecks to dive as well as reefs. Unlike Coron where you ride for hours to get to a wreck site, the majority of Subic sites are within 20 minutes of the dive centers. In addition, unlike most other places in the Philippines, the dive boats used are conventional boats not local banca. Certified divers will find a wide range of dive sites to choose from and some of the best wreck diving in Asia. This is a great place to leard how to dive.

Zoobic Safari
One attraction you will find at Subic Bay Freeport's Forest Adventure Park. Embracing a 25 hectare land - local and foreign guests can expect an astonishing sight of diverse exotic animals roaming and frolicking in their natural habitat. It features a wide range of habitats present in the forest due to the terrain, presence of streams and fringing grasslands. These represent the major habitats for varied exotic animals featured in Zoobic Safari Forest Adventure Park.

Subic International Raceway (SIR)
A 2.9 kilometer circuit with 12 turns, has been the venue for both local & international races. Located beside the Subic International Airport, it is 15 minutes away from Central Business District of Subic Bay Freeport and was completed in 1994. The new Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway to be completed in a few months has created some changes in the SIR. The new expressway ends at what was the raceway’s parking lot. This has caused the raceway to relocate its parking and has resulted in some change in the course itself.

Subic Bay International Tennis Center
Situated at Remy Field near the Main Gate of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone currently boasts 7 well-maintained international standard tennis courts.including the Cebuana Lhuiller center court,.four covered tennis courts with four badminton courts,two outdoor show courtsand a clubhouse facility which houses the Remy Field Sports Bar, a Pro-shop, shower & locker rooms, and soon to open; an Italian Deli Cafe with internet access.

Subic Nightlife
A wide variety of nightlife available in the Subic Bay area. At the height of the US military presence in Subic, most Filipinos generally looked at Olongapo with disgust. There was hundreds of clubs located outside the main gate, in Barrio Barretto, or in nearby Subic. Added to these buildings are the Navy recreational services activities that were deserted. With the economic recovery of the area and a healthy population of young people, many of these empty buildings have reopened to meet the needs of the young Filipino.
