Aruba, Curacao, in December

[w&k]

We try to get down to the south end once each year, and we always go diving with Suzy & Mark at The Dive Bus, The Dive Bus - HOME and Clive at Dive Aruba. Dive Aruba - Scuba Classes, Dive Trips and Equipment Rentals

Beware of Suzy and her camera... she takes blackmail pictures & posts them on the website. We were known first as the 'cruise ship invasion', and now are the 'serial cruise shippers' because we show up once or twice a year. There is a particularly funny blackmail photo from our trip this February posted on their February newsletter. We just had to change a cruise from this November to next year, and my DH Keith only asked one question: 'We are going to Curacao, right?'

Clive is a great fella to dive with, and he picks up and delivers you to the ship and/or hotels. He has a small boat, and we have had anywhere from 3 to 6 folks on-board. My only problem is that Clive does schedule his first dive to be a deep dive, and my ears get a bit grouchy over 70ft. This spring, we ended up with a deep reef as our first dive. Keith got 115ft, but I couldn't make it any further than 90ft, so I did the champagne thing until the others came back up some.

You can't go wrong with either one.

Have a wonderful trip!

Okay we are booked with JADS for 2 days and still looking for an operator for 1 day. Unfortunately we won't be able to dive with Clive because the friend I am going with won't go in the water without a DM present and I really don't want to babysit.

So we are looking for a smaller safe operator who has a DM in the water.....

Back from Aruba, two days with JADS one day with Clive. Both were great, but JADS did limit bottom time to about 45 minutes on all 4 dives I did with them I had about half a tank left at the end of each dive, with bottom time remaining.

I would recommend either!

Been to Aruba a couple of times now. Clive is the only operation I would dive. Seven max in boat just right for me. Also lets you do your own thing. Clive is the best.
