It looks like there is a ladder once again at the mega pier. It looks like they have made it to be pulled up but it looks like it will be a challenge due to it's size and weight. Either way there is now a way to get back up on the pier which is less sketchy than other methods. Hopefully someone doesn't lift it up when there are still divers in the water.

Is mid November a good time for diving in Curacao or should I consider a different time? November is the best time for diver hubby to be away from his business.... thanks so much.
just got back from Curacao on Sunday.
Diving was great overall. Trip was amazing. The island immediately skyrocketed to the top end of my island favorites list. Great people and beaches.
First night dive. Turns out it’s a little intimidating initially, looking down and not seeing much, other than my feet. Also learned about “Ooh! What’s that?!” divers. Think I got finned and basically torpedoed half a dozen times. Also learned XS Scuba Gauge readers suck. Filled up like a rain barrel in a thunderstorm. Thank God I had a back up. Still, a fun dive.
Both day dives were great. Big group though. A ton of sea life.
Did Tugboat at night and Double Reef and Shipwreck Point in the AM.
Ocean Encounters staff and crew were excellent. I’ll post some pics later. My photography skills suck, so It’ll be from the accompanying photographer.
Sunscape was nice, with a phenomenal beach and the snorkeling was like being in an aquarium. Tons of stuff to see just off shore. Food was OK to decent. Nothing to write home about.

We have great diving year round. November is usually a little wet as we're still peak hurricane season which increases the likelihood of rain showers but what better place to be when it rain than under water, eh!
We are returning (for a 4th time) after a 4-year hiatus! Reservations made!!!!!!! 
Where are you staying? You know we’ll want a full trip report!We are returning after a 4-year hiatus! Reservations made!!!!!!!
We have a bungalow at Bon Bini. Second time staying there. We have transitioned to this from using Lions twice before that. Short walk to Mambo Beach and included beach access there. We cook our own meals. Much quieter (not that Lions has been overly noisy - just cheaper and more our funk).
