Comments	This was our 8th trip to Curacao and our 5th with Ocean Encounters West now called Go West and All West Apartments. We rent a car and shore dive on our own schedule. All West Apartments provides onsite air fills 24 x 7. You can dive right from the stairs that lead from the apartments to the Ocean or drive to anyone of 20+ sites within a 30 min drive from the All West Apartments. If you need Nitrox, you can drive about a mile to the Go West dive shop for tanks. You will need some hard sole booties for shore entries. Some divers use up to a 3MM depending on your needs and the water temperature. If you like shore diving or boat diving Bonaire then you'll love Curacao's West end as there are more beaches and coves to explore than Bonaire has to offer and much more to do for the non diver. If you want boat diving or guided dives with Dive Masters the Go West Dive shop and dive boats are about a mile away with a two tank and one tank afternoon dive scheduled daily. You can eat the food, drink the tap water and feel pretty safe and welcome on Curacao. All West apartments provides a wide range of accomodations and is geared for divers. There is no TV, swimming pool, luxury beach or restaurant at All West apartments but there are a few restaurants within a few minutes walk or drive. All West is for divers who want to dive affordably on their own schedule. Yes a car is needed. The apartments at All West are furnished with basic cooking utensils and grills are available on site. There is also a rinse tank and space to hang your gear up to dry. Its prefect for divers who shore dive. Things to bring: Deet 5-11% bug spray, Bar of soap, A few Qt. and Gallon Zip lock bags, Gallon Thermos water jug, Wine and beer bottle opener, A few Microfibre hand towels, A few small plastic cartons for Ice blocks and left over food, SunTan lotion, Reusable Grocery bags, Sunglasses, Large Plastic cups, Books, Auto Tire pressure gauge,

Enforced diving restrictions	Shore diving allowed flexibility to dive our own profiles and schedule. Most dives followed the natural coral reef that surrounds most of Curacao. Dive at 50 - 70ft. for 25min, reverse direction for another 20mins at 30 - 45 ft. Safety stop and swim to shore.
