The best night spot in Subic is Club Edge - in Olongapo City. Offer live rock bands from 9pm until the early hours. Great fun!!

Scuba diving ok on wrecks but not great corals or fish life compared to other Pinas resorts. Scuba shack near hotel provide ok diving/guiding and they have jet-ski for hire 2,500 per hour also have ok beachfront restaurant. Diving little/no current ok vis about 10m Oct 2004. Taxi rates are a real scam in Subic no meters and way more expensive than Manila but very cheap by European standards expect to pay 500peso for 20 min trip or 100 peso for 3minute trip. There don't seem to be any tricycles for short/cheap trips. Subic inside the base is v clean and feels v safe. Roads and infrastructure left by Americans are a cut above the rest of the Phillipines making it feel quite incongruous if you've spent some time in other parts of the country. Worth a visit if you have lots of time but not the best beach/diving location close to Manila (Puerto Gallera is better).

The Subic Bay Freeport Zone is located within the confines of the former US naval base and all the entrances are controlled so there are relatively few street hawkers and no beggars hanging around waiting for tourists. Most everything is within walking distance inside the central business district but you'll need to rent a car or hire a taxi if you plan to go visit the other sites in the SBFZ. The Seafront Restaurant offers a "fine dining" experience with excellent food and service, music and a view of the bay. Gerry's Grill, an outdoor cafe located on the beach, also has great food.

Subic offers numerous 'Duty Free' outlets - certainly the alcohol is cheap but the selection is pretty average. Royal Mall is probably the best place to shop although the Mall near the hotel has an excellent DIY section. Restaurants were ok - we had a good Italian meal and the Subic Bay Yacht Club served great pizza (especially the folded one). Outside the gate is bedlam but more like the Philippines - expect low class bars and cheap shops. Worth a small browse.
