Well I received a long phone call from my son this morning. They have been conducting training exercises in the Phillipines for several weeks now. Before they were leaving, he got a couple of days liberty and got to dive in Subic Bay. I don't remember much detail, but he dove a wreck and then a group of 3 sunken barges. He said they saw large rays, lionfish and angel fish. I am glad he is diving some and not spending all his free time in the bars!
