main diversion airport of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. It is also the airport serving the immediate area of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone and the general area of Olongapo City in the Philippines. This airport used to be the Naval Air Station Cubi Point of the United States Navy. Its airport terminal has 2 gates.
The airport is slated for closure at an undisclosed date.[1] This is due to the closure of FedEx's delivery hub, which is located within the airport complex, and the planned expansion of the nearby Diosdado Macapagal International Airport. (Source: Wikipedia)

2. Wreck Diving
Dive centers dot the Subic coastal landscape and each are just minutes away from reef and wreck dive sites. Hence, Subic Bay is unofficially the “Pearl of the Orient” due to the abundant spots where these treasures are located. The wreck dive sites reveal mostly World War II vessels—huge war or battleships, supply ships, sea patrol boats, landing amphibians, antique steam ships, some submarines and crashed planes. But there are more. Post war incidents of ship sinking occurred there. Some say there are some ten large ships added to the wrecks of the war. Then there are the Spanish ships that sank at these Subic Bay wreck dive sites, so the place literally swarms with wreck dive sites. Accordingly, somewhere there is the San Quintin vessel, a warship in the Spanish-American War. Another is a Spanish galleon believed to have sunk in the 16th century and a Chinese Junk ship.
