We arrived on Curacao one week ago and have been diving everyday.
I have been conducting an instructor course through PADI/DSAT for Tec-Deep and start a Tec-Trimix instructor course today.
Diving here is super easy...sloping beaches/bottoms that drop deep quickly. We have found a thermocline with cold water & poor visibility at about 170 fsw, but shallower than that the water is VERY clear and 86 degrees F / 30 degrees C
Our diving has been mostly at Blue Bay, but have also dived at Wederford. I have not seen one fish of any size except for one 3 foot barracuda. Lots of anemones & lionfish.
Helium is crazy expensive down .. $500 for a T bottle filled to 1700 psi here and the T-bottles of Oxygen are filled to maybe 1700 psi also.
Overall a great place and great diving!!
