The Curacao site said packages start at $250.
That's not bad, considering a boat dive here in California can cost you $110.
I still wouldn't do it, personally, not that brave.
 
Why even bother with the helicopter? Be like the SEALs and SCUBA dive from a HALO drop. Then you get to wear sweet t-shirts like this one...

Halo Scuba - Special Forces Gear


You can do a HALO drop from the maximum service ceiling of a Chinook CH-47. Waddle and do a giant stride right out of the back ramp, then go into the sweep position for the dive and flare out at 1000-ft to stabilize and pop the chute at 500-ft. Cut away at 20-ft with a deflated BC an swoosh underwater and start breathing from your Draeger rebreather. When you get close to the pier, pull out the HK Mk23 SOCOM pistol with attached silencer in one hand and in the other hand, whip out the big ass Reeves survival knife and go to town on the tangos.

The coral will never see it coming.
 
Let's not forget to make sure that we have an AC-130, DAP birds, and fast movers stacked overhead by altitude in case we need any fire support ;)

30 out.
