    Curacao dive ops

    My buddy and I will be in Curacao on the Crown Princess from 1 PM until 10 PM.

    Can anyone recommend a dive op that offers afternoon and/or twilight and/or night boat dives?
    (I've already contacted The Dive Bus. I'm looking for other options)

    Dive OP

    Depending on the day, you could go out to Ocean Encounters West and dive Watamula, great dive, great dive op.

    Check their boat schedule to see if it matches the day you will be there. Probably best to rent a car.

    Trouble with Curacao is that the good diving is about an hour from the Cruise port. +1 for OEW, we spent 9 days with them last year and are heading back for another week at Thanksgiving. Top notch guys and great dive sites right off shore there.

    Thanks guys!!

    Well Timetraveler... OEW would most certainly welcome you to come and dive with us!! Our housereef is one of the top rated shore dives on the island and it is very easy and accessible! Our PM Boat dives leave our pier around 2pm and we typically do a site close to the shop like Watamula as an example except for Wednesdays and Saturdays because we have a PM snorkel trip.

    The problem lies in your arrival time and 45 min transportation to the West. Your options would include renting a vehicle or use a taxi service. The least expensive and more desirable option would be to rent a vehicle.

    There are other options for you in the East such as the Dive Bus or even Ocean Encounters located at Sea Aquarium.

    However, like JDCPA and Mathauck0814 said... GO WEST... to the BEST!!

    BTW... I am always available for more questions. Just email me directly! Always happy to assist!!

    See you on Curacao soon!

    Check out Curious to dive. You will have a blast and Hans is a great host. CURious2DIVE Wife and I really liked diving with him. He will personalize the dive and by the way we did 2 dive sites near the cruise port.

    Were these boat or shore dives? Do you recall the names of the sites?
