Experience the Diving, the Dolphins, UNEXSO

The UNEXSO complex is in the middle of the best
restaurants, shopping, casinos, beaches, and
yes...diving. Get a feel for UNEXSO and what to
expect, on land and at sea, through a first-hand
account by Tom Briggle who spent four days there
recently. Whether you are going for the diving
and its legends, or just want to spend some time
relaxing you can
prepare yourself mentally. |

Keep Up to Date with the Best Travel Arrangements
| |
The International Legends of Diving has arranged
for the best in diving with five-day, and
seven-day itineraries. All events are included
and most days are covered with two-tank dives.
The important thing is to get there. We've even
tried to make that easy by providing up-to-date
information on some of the best, most economical
travel arrangements to the island. When we hear
about a good travel deal, we'll try to post it.
There are current postings for Spirit Airlines
and Discovery Cruise Lines with listings for
airlines that fly to the island.

Letter From the United Kingdom
| |
Hi Jeff,
Thanks very much for your email which is greatly
appreciated. I hope that the information I got
together helps you with your planning and
approach. I couldn’t resist almost treating this
in the same way I approach my role in
engineering sales making it great fun to be
involved with!!
As a relatively new diver (Qualified last
September) it’s also fascinating to have the
opportunity to dive with and spend time with so
many experienced people from around the world
which is reward enough for any help I can
continue to provide.
Please keep me up to date with progress on your
side and let me know how I can help. And in the
meantime I’d better start to think about booking
flights to Freeport in April!!
Great to hear from you,
Dave |
