Breezes @ Curacao?

[ronbeau]

OK, so looks like I am staying at the Breezes. And I will dive with both Ocean Encounters and Dive Bus for a couple of days each with one day for shore, the other for boat. Done.
So now next question:
How does the free shore dive work? Do they usually pair you up with someone or does a DM come along?
Should I make a reservation ahead of time with both?


thank you.

I talked with Leo from Ocean Encounters at the Beneath the Sea show. He indicated that that the free dive from Breezes can be either a guided dive with their DM or you can get the equipment and go on your own.

The free dive from Breezes includes all dive equipment. I will be bringing my own equipment for myself and my daughter when I go there in June (exclusive of weights and tanks).

I will be there for two weeks so I think I will get the 7 day package which Leo said I could spread over two weeks. I think I will use the Dive Bus for the Mushroom Forest since the Mushroom Forest is an extra $30 fee from Ocean Encounters.

My daughter is doing her checkout dives Memorial Day weekend and I am already certified. Unfortunately my wife has exercised-induced asthma and cannot dive. As a result I am in the same situation as you where I have a non-diving spouse. We chose Breezes so my wife would have plenty things to do when my daughter and I are diving and so that all of us would have things to do together when my daughter and I are not diving.

The whole family is really looking forward to June when we leave for Curacao.

i went to the breezes. I did two dives, both times they took me to the tugboat. Make sure you plan it so you get some variety in as the dive capts love the tugboat spot (shallow/close etc)
