Low current dives with great viz and prolific corals made for interesting dives. Most dives were about 60 minutes, very relaxing with low current. All followed the same profile of wall dive to 1500PSI and return at 25 ft on the plateau. Crew of Bob, Remy, Richie, Rene, and Ronica were accomodating and helpful. I would ask for Bob on any return. The wreck of the Superior Producer was fantastic. we could see the entire wreck, 105 ft down, from the hang line. Food at Lions was of adequate quality but expensive and very slow in comming. While downtown Willemstaad was colorful, it was not the great shopping experience we expected. While we experienced no issues, everyone warned us about the crime levels. There is apparently a high level of traffic in drugs and illegal Columbians that make it dangerous to be on isolated beaches or nearby roads in the evening. Most folks warned us to take taxis after 8 PM, even downtown. |
