I believe it was ducks to an alligator and to my knowledge there is no such thing as a legitimate massage etc. within a 50 mile radius of Subic.

Oh no! Not the Duck:eek:

Go to the Legenda hotel for the haircut, pedicure, manicure. Go to any of the massage places "on base" for the legitimate massages and a good dive place is run by a FedEx guy here in Subic. You get a 10% ALPA discount and the dive master is a great gal that will take you to some great diving an hour or so north of here if you give her a couple of days notice. The name escapes me but it is located at the pool of the Subic Int' hotel.

Do you get the ALPA discount if you fly a disputed pairing in order to get the SFS layover? I hope not.

Thanks for the info guys. I figure it would be better to do the diving before the party!

Can one get scuba certified on a layover?

I would think you would need atleast a 4 day layover to get the cert. It requires about 5 dives, both in the pool and the open water portion. Plus throw in the 24 hour buffer and I think you'd be pushing it.

Dove once out of the Scuba Shack. Dive master was pretty good in that we wanted to dive on the US New York in about 90 feet of water. First question was when are you boys going flying and we said in about 20 hours. His respone was I don't think so. Dove on an old PTboat in about 30 feet of water and an old spanish galleon at the mouth of subic near Grande Island. Really just a couple of wooden beams but still fun.......

I thought they closed down! Muffdivers, that is!

There's a water park not far away - swim with dolphins there. Go over to the Legenda (I think that's the name, on the way to Scuba Shack from Grand Seasons) for a decent haircut, manicure and pedicure - call for an appointment though.
