As an aid in selecting our next family dive location, I would like to take advantage of the travel and dive experience of those who have recently been guests of Habitat Curacao.
When would be the best time to visit Habitat Curacao? We are looking at the first week of July for our vacation this year? What is the weather like but more important is the water normally fairly calm? Any additional information you can provide with regard to accommodations, services, shore dive sites and other family activities would be fantastic.
Here is the full meal deal. My wife was certified in Sept 02 and has only 12 dives to date due to equalizing difficulties and prefers shore diving as it is easier on the ears. In addition, accompanying us will be our 10-year-old grand-daughter who will be a brand new certified diver. With two new and inexperienced divers that need to gain experience and build confidence I really need a tranquil dive location in which they can practice dive skills as they build self-assurance and become familiar with our underwater world. Due to her age, the grand-daughter needs to be no deeper than 40 feet. I am an experienced dive instructor of 12 years and approaching 1100 dives, so having two inexperienced divers at my side is not an issue----it’s all about location for this trip.
From the web site it appears Habitat Curacao is the perfect location----but I’m sure each of us has yielded to the temptations of advertising zeal only to be disappointed with reality upon arrival.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
