Need dive buddy jan 2013 curaçao

[otavio]

Hi everyone
I wonder if I can be lucky to find a buddy to dive in curaçao. I'll rent a car, Will be staying fr jan 12 to 19, and would like to find someone to dive with. I am staying near Lions Dive, at Ocean Resort. I want some guided dives, some boat dives and some buddy dives. PADI AOW, 50 dives, male, 50yo etc.
Regards, Otavio.

For guided shore dives there's: The Dive Bus - WELCOME

Ocean Encounters is the on-site dive operator at Lions Dive for boat diving. Curacao Padi Scuba Diving - Ocean Encounters Curacao
The Lions Dive beach bar 50 yds. away would be my top choice if I was looking for a buddy. A lot of the other nearby resorts are resorts with diving - not dive resorts.

There are a lot of nice dive spots on the island. And it depends on what your wishes are. A lot of travelling to the divespot you may consider a lost of time due to the short time on the island. CURious2DIVE only dives in small groups and they have a pick up service. No bother with a taxi.
Nice spots like the tugboat (a wreck, a wall, deep, shallow and lots of sealife and corals) or Directorsbay with a garden of corals, gorgonians and fish. Or Double reef, Blue Bay, Vaersenbay or Snakebay. Or diving the west. It can all be done but not in one day.
If you need to know more about the dive operators on the island take a look at the review sites Tripadvisor or Scubadvisor.
