Hi everyone. I've found this to be a great board as I've learned a lot about the different Caribbean locations from all the helpful posters. I just got my Open Water Certification this past weekend in Tobago and was planning on making a trip to Curacao this weekend by myself. I read some of the old posts but still had some questions about Curacao, shore diving and the Habitat/Lions Den resort:
1) As a new diver (<15 dives) I haven't done much shore diving and definitely have never gone out by myself. I am a bit scared about being down there by myself and was wondering how difficult it is to navigate and get back to shore?
2) Are the shore dives around the Habitat or Lions Den resort enough to keep you occupied or do you recommend renting a car and going to other parts of the island (I only have 3 days on the island)?
3) Roughly how many dives did you do there per day?
4) Do I need special training to partake in night diving?
5) General thoughts on Habitat or Lion's Den?
Thanks in advanced for any feedback!
