Was in freeport in June and diove with the two main operators, Xanadu and
Unexo. Unexo is more expensive, but is more structured and goes to the sites
that are scheduled. Xanadu is more like a "mom and pop" operation, is cheaper,
but don't count on going where the schedule indicates. One afternoon I was
one of two divers on-board but the other one was finishing a certification,
so instead of going where the boat was scheduled, we ended up going to some
alternate sites where the instructor could finish off the student.

Whichever operator you go with, make sure that yo do the shark feeding dive...
enjoy!

Try UNEXSO across from Port Lucaya.

Since UNEXSO does - or did - captive dolphin swims, I have not wanted
to use them. I've been given to understand that they mostly deal with
resort courses and newly minted OW people. At some point I got other
recommendations which I think would be better, but I haven't been in
the last couple of years so I wouldn't want to say any names.
