WTF are you going to do with a slate if you're diving solo at recreational depths. . . .
It is for your dive plan that you are going to follow.
And, I suppose, to write a note to your loved ones if you get badly entangled. :)

Dive plan on Curacao. " I think I'll go left for the first dive and see what turns up"

LMAO
 
" I think I'll go left for the first dive and see what turns up"
This is a good start to a solo dive gone wrong.....on Curacao or anywhere.
 
I can neither confirm nor deny ever seeing anyone going for a splash with a bunch of photo gear and telling their non-diving spouse "I'll just photograph some critters in the sand right out there" on Cur. He may've had a slate, for white balance, I didn't ask.
 
Not really, a long swim. Fantasy Island?

I'm guessing that you are thinking of Fantasy Island Resort on Roatan, they share the same house reef with Cocoview.

Yep - my bad. I get confused.

We do accept solodivers that have all the equipment needed in redundancy, so if you have a 2 computers, 2 regulatorsets, a slate, extra mask, extra signaling devices, and so on....

Count me out. way too much unnecessary equipment required. Cross Curacao off the list.

Wrong. Your opinion is fine - but it's an opinion not a fact.

Whatever. I'm just going by the training manuals for solo divers....planning a dive and then executing the plan is a central element. I know YOU don't care....which is YOUR opinion.
 
All gowest required of me was a solo cert and a pony. That is pretty basic.
 
But maybe you would be happier elsewhere. Best of luck with your search.

I was going by drrich2's post "2 computers, 2 regulatorsets, a slate, extra mask, extra signaling devices, and so on....". I've got the card and the pony so I guess Curacao would work. Have to see what travel time and cost is like.
