Comments	Ocean Encounters is a very efficient dive operation; I was with a large group at a meeting in Curacao, and the boats were always on time to pick us up at the reosrt, and the dive guides and boat captains were very helpful and friendly. Dive conditions were great with calm, clear water, pretty coral and lots of fish. We also did the dolphin dive at the "Dolphin Academy" which was a lot of fun. The Santa Barbara resort where we stayed is beautiful and has large, comfortable rooms, but it is all inclusive, and the food was not good. I would definitely recommend Ocean Encounters, though.
