Just getting my feet wet....

Hi All!
Just starting to do the online chatter thing. So bear with my mistakes. I am looking for info on the Marriott in Curacao. Going there in Feb 06. Is the dive shop attached to the hotel a good one? Caribbean Sea Sports is the name of it. They offer an unlimited shore diving package there. I wonder if it would be better to use this or rent tanks from each different place we go to dive?

We've spent a couple weeks at the Marriot and the house reef is pretty good. The dive op there is ok, and has good equipt and boats, although we don't rent, but I had a look at their gear. They are on the west end of the property, so get a room in the lower numbers closer to the shop. The rental prices on their package deal might be the way to go, even if you want to take some tanks and head up or down the coast for a day trip. Some places won't allow outside tanks, so be sure and call first. Then again, a lot of the dive locations don't have a shop, so you'll do well with the Sea Sports package.

Maybe we'll see ya' on the island!

When are you going? We will be there from Jan 29-Feb 12. We can't wait. Which is why I lurk around dive sites on the 'puter to get my fix..LOL..
