Dive Review of
Caribbean Sea Sports/Curacao Marriott Beach Resort in
Curaçao

 Grand Cayman, Turks and Caicos,Bonaire  

Dive Conditions

1500lbs air or 30 min return to boat. Dive depth to each divers
qualifications & experience. They asked us to keep 1st dive around 80ft
and 2nd dive 60 ft. Most dives were 50-60 min. Dive masters seemed relaxed
with limits.  

[None]  

Overall Rating

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.
