Comments	Coral Divers are very friendly and helpful dive shop. The boat they run is the Anaconda (maximum person allowed on board is 18) no fresh water tanks or buckets to renice mask or Cameras on board. We had 16 divers 1 dive master and a caption for our trip to Mushroom Forest and one other dive, very crowded boat. Restrictions: Depth 80 ft. max, Stay with Dive Master, all divers in the water then down as a group and when one diver at 500 lbs all up for safety stop as a group. 16 persons following one dive master may work well for beginners. As this was our sixth (6th) trip to Curacao the last one in 2012 the Coral is maybe only 50% as dense now as in 2012. The demise of the Coral was very disappointing to us. The fish population is lower also for many reasons, over fishing, dead Coral, Lion Fish, ++++. OASIS CORAL ESTATE BEACH, DIVE & WELLNES is a new / rebuilt resort formerly known as Habitat. Oasis is a very good upgrade form the old Habitat, with 2 new restaurants and a new Coffee bar with exhalant food and service. Please note both restaurants service is for a leisurely dinning experience. If you need to get your food and eat to make an appointment (to be ready for the dive boat departure) let the staff know as your seated and they will do there best to accommodate your needs. The front desk is open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm daily if you plan to arrives out side these times make sure your travel agent or yourself informs Oasis as they will stay open for your arrival. Advanced Divers will enjoy shore diving in Curacao with their buddy while staying at Oasis and using Coral Divers as their dive shop! We used Lori Lachnicht at MADURO DIVE FANTA-SEAS as our travel agent for this trip.
