Daydreaming of Curacao

[Saturated and satisfied]

. Thanks for posting (and keeping dive travel hopes alive )

Are you seeing any tourists and if so where from? Just curious.

We were getting mostly Dutch of course until they got locked down which has now been extended. We've started seeing more Merican's some of whom have been able to work remotely and have been living here for a while working during the weeks and diving at the weekends. Our cases seem to be under control and the island living is quiet and relaxed. Welcome to the bubble! No pun intended!

Hmm. Got email from Sea Aquarium.... they will arrange PCR for $100 for return. So if positive where the heck do you quarantine on Curacao? My real issue is the test PRIOR to Curacao. Getting close in age here for VAX 65 and counting down.

Our cases here are actually dropping rapidly due to the measures put in place a month or so back. So much so that they are starting to relax the curfew and rules to a degree. Not sure where you would quarantine though if you were positive whilst on the island. They were using the Acoya hotel a while back.

yuppers that would be fine if it is a hotel. Bunkhouse/Dormatory not so much.

Ha! Ha! You are right. Maybe Hans would have a spot for you. In Aruba, you just quarenteen in your condo.

Similar here. If you own a property you can quarantine there. I believe if you have booked an AirBnB you can quarantine, with all the rules and regulations, there. If not, accomodations chosen by the government.

BEWARE: Nudity @ Playa Kalki!!

Hoping everyone is safe and well - we're having great diving conditions here in Curacao! The cruise ships we've had moored up most of the year recently left, which means we've been able to dive the Superior Producer again! It's been ages, and we were thrilled to get back there (planning to go again Saturday).

I'm headed back to Curacao in late February !! Have the local divers kept the lionfish population in check?

For the most part, yes but there's always the sneaky buggers hiding away or we find them more on night dives ready for a spearin'!
