Venture to
Barbados
to experience one of the
Caribbean’s largest wreck
dives, the Stavronikita. This 365’
freighter was intentionally sunk in
1978 as an artificial reef and is now
home to a myriad of corals and marine life.
There are a number of reef systems along
Barbados’ leeward coast where coral
formations abound and you can expect
to see stingrays, turtles, barracudas, and
plenty of tropical fish. Above the
waterline, visitors will experience
the island’s distinct Caribbean
flavor blended with a sophisticated
and active lifestyle through its
luxurious resorts, fine restaurants,
and world-class golf. Today’s
Bajans are a friendly and
fun-loving people—exceptionally
proud of their heritage and
anxious to share their beautiful
island with all who visit.

I wil l go deeper than I’ve ever gone. And see things I’ve never seen.
I will put on a wetsuit, an air tank and let myself sink. I will

Bonaire
is arguably the best shore diving
destination in the world, with more than 60 dive sites hardly
a stone’s throw from shore. Because the waters around
Bonaire are designated as an official marine park,
it’s like diving the Caribbean the way it used to be:
untouched and unspoiled. With an arid
climate and little rainfall, the waters
are exceptionally clear of silt, calm,
and diveable year-round.

Top-rated for decades, the
Cayman Islands
cater
to divers in a manner which few destinations can match.
Grand Cayman has more than 160 dive sites ranging from
steep walls adorned with vibrantly-colored
sponges and corals to Stingray
City, where friendly southern
stingrays swim around divers
waiting to be fed. Grand
Cayman’s newest dive
attraction is the wreck of
the ex-USS Kittiwake off of
the north end of Seven Mile
Beach. Bloody Bay Wall in Little
Cayman is often referred to as the
best wall dive in the Caribbean. Plunging
to depths of more than 6,000’, these
exhilarating walls are covered with brightly
colored sponges, sea fans, and corals. Cayman
Brac’s miles of shallow reefs are inhabited by a multitude
of marine life, unafraid of divers, and is home to the only
diveable Russian warship in the Western Hemisphere.

finest collection of walls, reefs and wrecks. You’re diving a destination with 365 different
sites to choose from -- a destination with year-round 80-degree water temperatures, 100
ft. visibility and the region’s friendliest, most experienced dive operators. Add it all up,
and you’ll understand why—when you’ve got to get down, you’ve got to get down here.

Curaçao
The island of
is encircled by a shallow shelf, followed by a
vertical drop-off not far from the beach. With over 60 dive sites, most accessible from
shore, there are beautiful coral reefs and a number of wrecks including the Superior
Producer and two sunken tugboats. Curaçao has miles of coastline dotted with
isolated beaches, a bustling downtown with great shopping, historical sites, nightlife,
and exciting diving right offshore. The island is also known for its picturesque, colorful
Dutch architecture. The west end is largely undeveloped and provides nature lovers
with plenty of areas to explore and enjoy.

was a sleepy little fishing community until 1961, when a

diving areas of the world. Since that time, Cozumel has become a mecca for divers,
and has declared the southern reef area as an underwater National Marine Park to
protect the delicate balance of its dazzling coral reefs and abundant variety of tropical
fish. The underwater wildlife is absolutely amazing here: flounder, grouper, stingrays,
turtles and hundreds of colorful, tropical fish dart around the coral reefs. The laid-back
atmosphere of San Miguel and its friendly people brings divers back again and again.

other literature concerning your Trip, the Trip itself or any claim for
damages due to injury or death which occurs during, or in connection
with, the Trip shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration

able to show an abuse of discretion with respect to factual findings.
The parties waive the right to rely on any state law or statute which
creates an exception to enforcement of the requirement that disputes
be resolved pursuant to arbitration in the manner set forth herein.
