Dive Subic?

I went for George of Boardwalk Dive Center. Really cool, no nonsense guy.

For those searching for Subic dive centers in the future, I'd also add Subic Scuba College to the list. We just opened our doors and do all the PADI stuff, including the DSAT Tec Deep and Trimix. Also, TDI courses, including Technical Wreck...and ANDI Certification on the Evolution, Megladon and Hammerhead CCRs.

Website is pending... but for Facebook users...check our group page... Subic Scuba College | Facebook

Anyone need any advice on diving in Subic, or the Philippines in general, then please feel free to drop me a line.

Another thumbs up for Johan's if you're into the tech stuff. Don't mind the bungees on his wing :mooner: j/k

You might want to consider what type of location you prefer. Johan's and Blue Rock are over in Barrio Barretto/ Baloy Beach. More laid back, local feel to the area. And then you have the freeport side which is more upscale (but given it's a former US Navy base, it feels like you're in a timewarp to 1960-70's California with small strip malls and military-base style architecture! - with the exception of Subic Yacht Club...).

edit: it's not that convenient to go back and forth between the Freeport and Barrio Barretto a I believe the trike taxi's are not allowed into the Freeport.

I dived with Johann's crew a few years ago. Although we were doing a shallow dive(18-25m I think), my only concern was that the dive boat left us to pick up the first group of divers who were dropped off(I believe they were doing a technical dive). There's always that "what if there was an emergency" lingering in my mind after that dive.

Is there so many? lol Having previously run a dive center in Thailand... I was just enjoying being in a location where the market wasn't completely saturated.

If you're in the area, pop in and say hello...we're next to Pier One.
