I'd like to be prepared for emergencies and the inevitable battery life in the transmitter. I noticed that Mares once had a kit with the CR123 batteries, screws, plastic housing, and an O-ring. It appears these kits are no longer available. So what happens when the battery in a transmitter...

I just picked-up the ICON HD and updating firmware. It appears that 4.2 is available. I'm updating via Dive Organizer and it's taking a very long time... it's on the last 1/100 of the green bar and been stuck there for 10 minutes now with "Device programming in progress..." in the status box...

I was just at the Marriott a month ago and walked over to the Hilton since I used Ocean Encounters more often than I did Caribbean Sea Sport at the Marriott. The lobby and grounds of the Hilton were very clean and the pool fully functional. I even saw a few people play a round of miniature...

Thanks everyone. We just arrived home a couple of hours ago. It was a wonderful trip and I lool forward to visting Curacao again. Sunshine, I'll take you up on your odder. Thanks again for the hospitality! Sam, Miles has already been "flirting" whenever he gets a chance. ;) I am so proud of...

Visted Shete Boka on the west end of the island. Rough seas. I did not get a chance to dive Watamula but did visit the site. Since we were in the neighborhood, we stopped in to Sol. What a fabulous place. Awesome people and great food. I even bought a t-shirt...

Some other random shots of the wildlife. Time to hang up the regulator and enjoy family time for the reminder of the trip.

So for dinner, we all had drinks. Of course, I had the “girlie” drink. Onto more manlier stuff… more diving. On my way down… … to check out Superior Producer. A few things growing from the hull. Back-up just in case. At Saba, there was a sunken tugboat.

During surface intervals, I spent time with my wife and baby boy. Note to self. When taking the baby into the water, make sure pockets are empty. My Blackberry is fried. Anyway, more diving to be had. The elusive Frog Fish at the Hilton House Reef. Mushroom Forest...

The next several days were about diving. The next several photos are from a night dive at the Marriott House Reef. Another day of diving. Klein Curacao Moray eel

I spent 7 nights at in Curacao and had 10 dives in 5 days while trying to manage quality family time. We stayed at the Marriott and due to scheduling most dives were through Ocean Encounters out of the Hilton and three were with Caribbean Sea Sports out of the Marriott. The people at both...

Thanks everyone for your recommendations and opinions. Unfortunately with a 4 month old in tow, I have to make certain compromises and will have to go with the above schedule. There is no hassle of me having to rent a car and then have to make sure my wife knows where to go with the baby...

Very cool! Hope they'll stick around for awhile. I look forward to my trip in October.

Thank you everyone for all of the replies (even the funny replies that I missed earlier) so far! I'm trying to plan dives whereby I do not have to personally drive and hence why CSS works given that the dive op is right in the Marriott and also why OE works since they are right next door at...

My dive schedule is coming together but I do have a question for Bryan or anyone that knows OE's schedule. My schedule currently looks like this: Tuesday, 10/06: Klein Curacao and East Point with Ocean Encounters Tuesday Night: Marriott House Reef with Caribbean Sea Sports Wednesday...

Great report. Thanks for sharing! My trip with the family is in October. Can't wait! :cool2:

Thanks. Here is my schedule so far: Tuesday AM: Mushroom Forest (Caribbean Sea Sports) Tuesday Night: Marriott House Reef (Caribbean Sea Sports) Wednesday AM: Small Wall (Caribbean Sea Sports) ? Wednesday PM: Saba (Caribbean Sea Sports) ? Thursday AM: Superior Producer (Caribbean...

I've been corresponding with Bryan every so often. The three spots I really want to dive while in Curacao are Mushroom Forest, Watamula, and Rediho. Everything else is gravy. Given that it's partly a family trip with my non-diving wife and 5 month old (at that time) baby, I limited myself to...

Marriott booked (10/4 - 10/11) and airline tickets purchased. Now I just have to figure out a dive schedule for the week! :D

Bryan, Thanks. I'll probably contact OE in a few days. I'll probably do the 2 Tank AM dive on a Thursday with CSS since one of the dives is at Superior Producer, which I want to do and also it will give me a discount for a night dive that they have on Tuesdays. As for the others, I'd like to...

Thanks for the replies so far. Seems like there are really nice dives to be had as well as beaches on the other side of where the Marriott is located. Does one suggest renting a car or could the diver operator (e.g. Caribbean Sea Sport and Ocean Encounters) arrange transport and the...
