I was the single diver who signed up for "Single Divers Week" at the Dive Bus in Curacao. What a great trip! I have decided to stay single because I had such a great vacation by myself!
I dove with Holly for two dives a day for five days. We did the house reef, tugboat, Director's Bay, Playa, and one other. I also did another day at the house reef/Carpile with their new intern and Mark. Great dives all around and Holly is an incredible divemaster. We saw turtles, eels, Flamingo Tongues, Lettuce Slugs, Seahorses, lobsters, and the like. Holly even took pictures for my vacation which Suzy burned to a CD for me (564 pictures!).
The Dive Bus is full service, they picked me up every morning, fed me lunch and even drove me to another dive shop to buy booties that they didn't have in stock. I really can't recommend them enough.
I stayed at the Sea Horizon Apartments, which Suzy arranged for me. My only complaint: no hot water (not a big deal in the tropics). It was very clean, secure, and the landlady is a blast. My favorite dinner (and most reasonably priced) was at the Surf'nTurf (at the Dive Bus) but my favorite dessert was the chocolate mousse at Hemingway (at the Lions Den resort). I mostly traveled around using the Curacao bus system which is a dollar a trip and very safe.
All in all, great vacation. I mostly let Suzy and Holly plan it for me and they did a great job from accommodations to dive planning, to recommending dinner spots. Finally, I didn't need to take one picture to have a fully documented vacation.
