Comments	Curacao has very good shore diving. Most Dive operations have decent shore diving plus many more optional shore sites resembling Bonaire. Reefs and a few wrecks are close to shore. I chose to dive by boat for convenience. Caribbean Sea Sports(CSS) operates in association with the Marriott and on Marriott property. CSS very effecient & well managed operation. Experienced and imformative staff. Everyone friendly. Tip jar in dive shop. Free lockers and locks for safe overnight storage of gear. 42ft Dive boat is 1-2 yrs old with diesel engines.Deck is covered.Boat has lots of room. I dove 7 days 6-10 divers was typical. Rinse tanks on board but sometimes not filled. Water, fruit and snacks on surface interval. Curacao Marriott typical Marriott resort. Very nice! The pool is big and clean. Grounds well maintained.I ate all my meals at Marriott. Great place to stay if wife doesn't dive. Nice beach for Curacao. OK man made reef for snorkeling. Noticed mild oder from fuel proccessing plant 3-4 miles away. I liked short walk from room to dive shop. Marriott has good off season rates. Need a car, town is 10-20 min. drive. However, hotel makes two free shuttles to town per day. I would return to Curacao if deal was good enough.The diving is very nice with great viz. Healthy reefs with lots of macro life.Lots of dive sites. Easier to get to than Bonaire. I definatly would use Caribbean Sea Sports and Marriott again. They really made a nice vacation.
