Introducing Curaçao

Though this little Dutch Caribbean island is best known for its colorful colonial waterfront in Willemstad, too few know about the rainbow of vibrant coral and marine life under its waters that make this a perfect vacation destination for scuba divers. Curaçao is the largest island in the Dutch Caribbean (formerly known as the Dutch Antilles which included Curaçao, Bonaire, St. Maarten, Saba and St. Eustatius), and is full of great dive spots.   The amount of detail given to each dive by the talented scuba pros of the area shows the importance of diving to the community. Get ready for a perfect dive experience.
