CDF’2008: Diving the housereef of Curaçao Habitat
The Habitat Curaçao is situated on the southern part of the island and the resort is build isolated into a little bay. Even though it is far away from the main hotel area, it suprises with its high standard. A nice Pool area, good design and a wonderful dive base with a very interesting housereef.
We also appreciated a lot, that the divecenter is extended over the water with a little peer and offers a very comfortable entry for housereef divers. And: there is also a boat and Nitrox. The organization and condition is very good, but still there is a very nice and relaxed atmosphere.

If you only intend to cabaret from sustain, charter a car. There are over 8 hold dives between the 2 resorts and at lowest 4 between Lagun and Westpunt. This isn't investigating dives in opposite directions. So, if you are into hold swim, you'll jazz rafts on the west opinion solo.
