curacao

Actually, the Continental non-stop only flies on Saturday. American
Airlines is also a good choice, with a quick stop over in Miami. I
won't fly Air Jamaica any more.

I prefer Lions Dive by far. Here you can walk to happy hour at Mambo Beach,
visit the sea aquarium, visit
the town or nearby restaurants. Rent a car and go out diving anywhere on
the island at any hour you want.
Why be a slave to a dive boat schedule...arent you here to shore dive? When
you take a boat they almost
always just drive a ways down the shore to a spot you could just as easily
got to on your own from shore. The
big exeption is Mushroom Forest which you need a boat.

Hope this helps.

Hey guys.... Habitat has probably the best house reef on the island.
Grab a tank and go 24 hrs. a day. Nobody makes you do the boat dives.
I like doing a couple of boat dives mixed with my shore dives. I
don't like to work to hard for my dives anymore. I guess that's why
my first choice is always liveaboard when possible.

Curacao is one of my favorites in the Caribe and Habitat is great.
