My girlfriend and I are researching a trip to Curacao fall of 2015. This will be a shore dive only getaway. We will only make 2 shore dives per day one in the morning and one late afternoon so driving to the dive sites should not be a big deal as I feel we should have plenty of time. What I am struggling with is what area should I stay in? It looks like Westpunt and Lagun have great dive sites, dive shops and condos but getting to town(Willemstad) looks like a hassle. We are the kind of people that do not like to stay in crowded/congested areas but we do like to pop into town every day. We will rent a vehicle and don't mind driving 15 - 20 minutes but 45 minutes to an hour seems unrealistic. Is there a dive shop and condo setup you could recommend that is west/north of town that might work. I would like to grab 4 tanks in the morning and that would set us up for the day. I would not rule out east/south of Willemstad but it seems to make sense being centrally located. I also like the ideal of renting a pickup versus a car. I guess I have Bonaire to blame for that. Who would you recommend renting a pickup truck from? I have read the beds of the trucks are not set up like Bonaire. Any tricks you use to keep your tanks from rolling around? Are there any grocery stores centrally located? My understanding is there are not any grocery stores between Lagun and Westpunt. Is that accurate?
