Hi,

at the end of the month (May 2007, that is) I will be visiting
Curacao in the Carribean for scuba diving and doing u/w-video
and photo. Do our users know anything special there, which
is a must have to do - dive and land-based activity wise?

Thanks in advance fellows! Andi

Wish I knew you would be in my part of the world, would have flown down to hang out, maybe still..hmmmm.

Have not gotten down there yet, but have been planning for awhile, it looks like I will go in September for coral spawning.

Based on what I have researched (my wife actually has done the bulk of the research, she is very good at picking good spots) and my buddies who have gone there often Curacao has alot of good shore diving.

The house reef at Habitat Curacaot is suppossed to be very good (just grab a tank and go) http://www.habitatcuracaoresort.com/

There is also the dive bus http://www.the-dive-bus.com/

I know there are some other things of interest, here is a goood list to start with http://www.curacao-travelguide.com/sights/

I am going to ask to find out what I have missed mentioning and which sites others havee mentioned http://www.mina.vomil.an/Eilandinfo/Curacao-dive.html

I have been to Curacao and enjoyed the diving.  Ocean Encounters is a great diving operation ... don’t think you can do better anywhere in the world.

Spend some time downtown as the city is spectacular with lots of color ie as in roygbiv.

We enjoyed the diving and the mushroom forest is a good day trip.

we found about six different species of Morays and the macro photography was pretty good as well.

It was one of our best trips.  I have logged over 800 ocean dives in the last few years.
