Mike & Michele Day of Sunset Divers did an outstanding job.  Their
staff of Wade, Kristen and Carlos are knowledgeable divemasters.  Always
ready to guide divers to best locations on reefs or to allow you to dive
own profile.  New boats and tanks.  Short rides to dive sites.  Fresh
fruit, water and iced tea on board each boat.  Reefs in good shape.  Saw
spotted morays, lobster, scorpion fish, squid, turtles, parrotfish,
seahorses, schooling chromis, barracuda, etc.  We were traveling in a group
and had boat to ourselves.  Mike scheduled boat departures to fit our
schedule.  Did two tanks each morning and one night dive.  Especially
enjoyed Mushroom Forest and Harry’s Hole.  Sloping walls allow divers to
maximize bottom time over reefs.

Sunset Waters Resort offers all-inclusive plan that was excellent. 
Facility is clean, offers great beach with shore diving, good food
throughout week.  Jim Hunter, General Manager, did excellent job of
coordinating our schedule requirements, i.e. food service with dive boat
departures, etc.  Delta has weekly non-stop flight from Atlanta each
Saturday making Curacao an easy destination to reach.
