It's been awhile, but last I contacted Go West (the dive op.) via e-mail to ask about it, they didn't sound like fans of it (or inclined to publicize a willingness to support it), but they did allow it if one had the proper certification and gear. If I were planning a trip, I'd confirm that with them directly.As far as solo dives go, I can neither confirm nor deny the complete absence of any scuba police at AllWest.
Unfortunately, their diver safety page currently states:
"Solo Diving is not allowed under any circumstance(s)."
Yet they offer the PADI Self-reliant diver course.
On the other hand, it also states:
"The use of Dive Surface Marker Buoys & Reels are required by Law for all shore diving on Curacao." I don't know why anyone would wish to be low-key about support, but maybe so.
It's my understanding it's common knowledge most shore divers in Curacao don't use one.
Anyone interested in using Go West as their dive op. to support shore diving, and planning solo shore diving, perhaps should contact them directly and privately.
