Daydreaming of Curacao

[AndrewBoyd78]

Had a great dive today at Playa Porto Marie. The highlight was swimming through a massive bait ball. First time experiencing being completely surrounded by thousands of fish. Was diving with the Dive Bus. Tomorrow off to the east end of the island.

So, how’d you like Eastpoint?

Hi Andy, It was amazing! The dive sites have the healthiest coral I’ve seen on the island. Amanda and I really enjoyed it and it was great meeting you on Bjorn’s boat today.

Thanks for the link to that video. The one at Porto Marie was 2-3 times larger, so when in the middle fish all around you 360 degrees. Curaçao is truly an amazing place.

Were the pigs there?

Yes, saw a few; they are cute. The dive guide said they have been multiplying.

Was nice to meet you today! Not often you see something on social media and then get to actually meet! Glad you and Amanda got to experience the eastpoint reef. It really is some of the most pristine reef in the Caribbean!

Booked end of March 2026 with my Dive Bus friends. Way too long of a wait... This December will be 2 years since our last trip there.

I might see you there. We will be at Marazul all of March to the middle of April 2026.

If you see the Dive Bus then (but, they seldom venture that far), I'm the really tall guy diving a double hose...

I'm the short guy diving sidemount, lol
We have a truck and dive all over the island. Only when we are really lazy do we dive Marazul and the Westpunt area. I'll keep an eye out for you.
