The flight to the small country in Central America took over 17 hours from my small island in Southern Italy. I am an avid diver, outdoorsman, adventurer, and an American living overseas. I had chosen this diving resort primarily due to its fantastic location but also because of its proximity to a very special and exclusive club. It is located on the same island just offshore of the mainland.
My name is Mark Warner, and even though I am writing this account of my trip, I know that I can never show it to anyone that is not an aquaphile. As I recount this story, I am sure that you can see why this is going to have to remain buried in my sock drawer and away from the general public.
Well anyway, the tales that I had heard about the "secret club" were almost impossible to verify. There was no information on the web and I had never seen anything about it in print. My only information came from word of mouth and even that was sketchy.
On the Air France 747 over, I daydreamed about the great diving that I was going to experience and the even more about the mythical club. It promised underwater sex that had taken on legendary proportions in my mind. After landing and a relatively easy getting my stuff, I decided to opt for executive transportation. The helicopter took me from the airport to the island and passed over a large compound surrounded by jungle. This could be it! At one end was a series of grand pools that appeared to have both clothed and naked people swimming in them. From the altitude of 1,500 feet I thought that I could make out a submarine just under the surface of the water in the deep end of the pool.
