Editor Tips & Helpful Hints

They're not the only name for diving on the island, but with affiliations with many of the major hotels, it'll seem that way. And that's just fine. The operator is spot-on in terms of safety and environmental awareness.
They do more than diving, and can help arrange a variety of aquatic excursions, from diving/snorkeling trips to daylong outings to Klein Curacao, a small undeveloped island two hours east of the mainland, where you can snorkel, beachcomb, and dine on a BBQ lunch.
Those who are prone to seasickness and are considering the jaunt out to Klein Curacao, be prepared: The two-hour trip cuts through some very rough seas after you no longer flank the mainland. The trip back, however, is blissfully smooth by comparison.
