Comments This was our 22nd. time to Curacao. Easy to get to from the US, you can eat the food and drink the water with excellent shore and boat diving. The better diving on Curacao is on the west half of the island. We stayed at All West Apartments and rented a truck from them for shore diving across the Island. All West Apartments is the shore divers dream with a dedicated air station and dive locker that you have access to 24/7. We did a few boat dives from the Go West dive shop which is a 4 minute drive from the Apartments. You can shore dive right from the apartments to Playa Piscado for some of the best turtle diving in the world. Affordable accommodations, decent internet access, No TV or Microwaves at the apartments but a million dollar view with excellent easy shore diving is open to you 24/7. There are 4 restaurants within walking distance of the 10 All West apartments. Employees wear masks, boat has limited diver capacity due to COVID. Lessons are available. The boat captains and staff have 10+ years experience.
