I've been meaning to get around to writing up a dive report and was just thinking about it today for the first time in a while. Then I come how to a PM asking me kindly to write up my experiences to help a fellow diver who plans to go in January. Who am I to deny fate? :D Fair warning - it...

Inquiring minds want to know!

Should be E2. I also found several real beds on airbnb.

We'll be in Curacao next week (wait, REALLY??) and I'm trying to decide the best tank rental strategy. We already have our car and hotel, BCDs and fins. Now we only need weights and tanks (just air for us). I've read about many dive sites requiring you to rent tanks from them. Is this enough...

Any changes in recommendations? We're going to be staying in the east/NE of Willemstad for a week just a couple of weeks from now.

Edit: Never mind. Somehow I didn't find this thread until just now: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/lesser-antilles/433189-where-eat-dinner-curacao.html From only last year with a lot of great recs. I'm just going to revive it instead. Going to be in Curacao a couple of weeks from now and...

Never could get the owner of the Royal Palm apartment to respond to requests for information, so no way am I going to chance booking it. We wound up at a nice looking apartment in Willemstad near Cas Coraweg and Hermesweg. The price was right, the owner was nice and somewhat vouched for, and...

I'm looking at booking an apartment in the Royal Palm Resort in Piscadera for next month. Anyone have any experience with it they want to share? Keeping in mind that it's a big and varied place, with all sorts of different residences/apartments. From the price I'm looking at, I'm pretty sure...

Okay, so I'm looking at cancelling Marazul and booking in the Royal Palm resort. Probably one of the cheaper units, so first floor and probably facing the WTC or garbage cans if I'm lucky. But we're willing to forgo the view for a more central location. Any opinions on the apartments in...

Errr... yes. What about the steps?

I've been told that Marazul is much further than 30 minutes from Willemstad. More like an hour, they say. Could you be more specific? Were you just talking about Habitat, maybe?

Thanks for your note, but that's certainly unfortunate. I was going mainly off this trip report: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/lesser-antilles/453264-curacao-trip-review.html in which they claimed the drive from Marazul to Willemstad was 30 minutes. :( Now I have to consider cancelling...

Yeah, she's fine with SLEEPING where it's quiet. :D From what I read it was more like 30-45 minutes each way. Not true? Or are these people just putting the pedal to the metal? :D

Well, the problem is from what I've seen 9pm + overhead is a bit late for at least some rental companies. I was thinking Budget might be it, but I didn't know how they compared and if anyone else had any recommendations. As far as lodging, we're already booked at Marazul. The king size bed...

We're going to be in Curacao in mid-August, staying at Westpunt. Looking forward to some good shore diving. We've been to Bonaire once before, but my wife wanted some place a little more upscale. I'm just wondering what people's current advice on rental car companies there are. We're staying...

Just thought I'd post a little something here for the people who followed the purchasing saga. Took this baby just a couple of weeks ago. (click for larger version)

Well, I ordered the gear! Okay, so I actually bought the ultralight tray and grip here locally. But then I found that none of the dive shops seem to carry Olympus gear and the biggest camera store doesn't carry any kind of dive-related gear. So I wound up ordering it from B&H. I was going to...

I've been trying to figure this out and only have my guesses to go by. Wanted to find out for sure. From what I've read and figured out from looking at my PT-EP03 housing for the E-PL2, it's autofocus only. Is this true? I know there's a zoom ring and their are focus rings for other cameras...

Yeah, I plan to take some pics while snorkeling around with my wife, so it seems like I might get into that situation and it'd irritate me to have it show up. I'm may be a bit too OCD to do the pen trick, though. *sigh*

Thanks, that does help. FYI for everyone else, I got the laluz 800 from Nflor001 so this would be basically the same setup. And on the plus side, it looks like Reef Photo has this mount, as well as all the stuff I wanted to order. And free shipping on $200. I had to ditch Blue Water because...
