Founded in 1965, UNEXSO was one of the first recreational dive operations in the world; it pioneered shark-feeding dives and the open-water Dolphin Experience, and Peter Benchley learned to dive here. Its scuba program is currently paused and marked 'returning soon', while the dolphin, snorkel and glass-bottom-boat programs run from Sanctuary Bay.
