Comments	This was our 11th time to Curacao and 6th time to All West Apartments and GoWest diving. We go to Curacao for the affordable relaxing shore diving provided on the West end of Curacao which is very laid back with little to do but relax and dive with a few restaurants to choose from. Our suggestion is to rent a car either at the airport or through All West apartments and shore dive all day long. A map of the island and water jug is recommended as many of the dive sites do not have drinking water. If you like the shore diving on Bonaire you will love Curacao. Accomodations: All West Apartments is located on the far West End of Curacao for some of the best diving in the Caribbean. The apartments are located right on a coral cliff overlooking a small beach and fishing harbor. There are stairs that lead from the apartments to some great coral reefs with air available on site 24/7. The apartments are clean and convenient to many small beaches and bays where you can dive on your own schedule with minimal current to worry about. All West apartments has an air station right on sight and you have access to the dive locker, tanks, rinse tank and shower as they provide you the key. We usually provide our own breakfast and lunch at the apartment and go out for dinner. This is not a luxury resort with full amenities but rather a furnished apartment for those who want to get away to a more relaxed pace especially designed and located for Scuba diving. There is no swimming pool, spa, onsite restaurant or TV. Internet is provided for free to guest but it can be at island speed at times. Diving & GoWest: GoWest provides an all day unlimited diving package and you can dive onsite or take the tanks with you to the beach of your choice. If you desire Nitrox or boat diving, it is a 5 min. drive to the main dive shop located next door to the Kura Hulanda hotel. The dive shop is fully staffed with several boats and instructors. There is a gently sloping reef around most of the island with minimal current. A typical dive is kick out on the surface to the darker blue water, decend to 40 - 60ft or deeper if you want and dive in one direction for about 20 - 30 mins depending on air consumption then ascend to about 30 - 55ft and return back to were you decended. 25 min Out and 25 min back. Watch the soft corals to see if there is any slight current and adjust your profile as needed. You will see seahorses, turtles, lobster, crabs, shrimp, squid and on a rare occasion a Manta or dolphins The staff at All West and GoWest can provide additional details on groceries, dive sites and restaurants. Both GoWest diving and All West Apartments have great websites.
