Comments [None]Good diving with shop at Hilton Hotel. Recommend concierge fee to get free food and drinks on upper floor with great view. Not a dive vacation so I only did 8 dives, all 2 tank morning dives by small boat. Mostly wall dives similar to Bonaire on west (lee) side of island. Cruise ships left one day and we were able to dive wreck of the Superior Producer; this was a highlight of the week. Lots of coral and critters on wreck.
Snorkeling near hotel was interesting but mediocre. One day got guide to take us to north end of island for dive where fishermen cleaned catch. turtles and large schools of small fish gathered for very good snorkeling. Guide then took us to see flamingos, which were less than 100' away (much closer than I've gotten in Bonaire).

I got a deal on this trip with an American Airline flight/hotel package for about $1000pp. These package deals can be quite good if the diving is OK.
