2013 World's Best Diving & Resorts: UNEXSO and Grand Lucayan Bahamas

The International Underwater Explorers Society is a true pioneer of diving, and since 1965 has developed Grand Bahama’s most diverse dive community. UNEXSO was the world’s first dedicated diving resort, and it continues to offer the safest and most advanced facilities in the Bahamas.

UNEXSO’s 7-boat fleet highlights our superb signature dives. The Dolphin Dive features trained Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in an open-ocean environment, allowing diver interaction. The Shark Dive allows a look into the private lives of Caribbean reef sharks. Explore the nooks and crannies of Ben’s Cavern, part of an ancient underground network, first discovered by Ben Rose. Visit the thrilling Theo’s Wreck or the mammoth Sea Star Freighter. These magnificent ships sunk by UNEXSO, as many as thirty years ago, sit on the edge of the continental shelf. These dives, plus the plentiful fish life, coral and exciting swim-throughs, create a diver’s fantasy!

Learn to dive, get advanced training, cave and technical training, underwater photography instruction and more.
UNEXSO also offers the Dive-In Marina Bar & Grill, a retail store for clothing, dive gear and gift items. Looking over the Port Lucaya Marina, relax with a drink or splash around in the Olympic-sized pool as the sun sets.

After diving, relax at the Grand Lucayan Bahamas, the closest major resort to the East Coast. Nestled into one of Grand Bahama Island’s most spectacular beaches, Grand Lucayan offers some of the finest amenities in the Caribbean.
