Just got back from Freeport on May 6, small group (20 divers)from a dive club stayed at Pelican Bay and dove with UNEXSCO. Overall Pelican Bay and UNESCO facilities are very nice (really cleaned up and spruced up from what other diver said), try to get rooms near the pool (old section of the resort), rooms are very nice with ground floor rooms having a patio door opening into the poor area where the "Yellowtail Grill" is located. Food is good at the grill (really big hamburger and fries about $8 or $9, huge greek salad for $7.50, local beer $3 or $4) service is only barely average but that is kinda typical I think everywhere there. Dive shop is right next door, have lockers for overnite storage (bring you own lock), two nice big boats and two smaller boats, Angelo, Christina, Stephen and Jarvis where our DM/Guides, Christina is absolutely fantastic after she opens up. Dives are a short boat ride, Seastar wreck, Thoe's wreck, Poppa Docs, Picasso's gallery all good sites. Did Poppa Docs at nite also. Do the Dolphin encounter dive if you havent done it before, kinda expensive ($165) but unforgetable. Oh, forget the best, Shark Alley, in the water 5 minutes and had sharks swimming around us, no shark feeding or anything, just checking us out. Have more info or pic if you are interested.
