Default Snorkeling tour reccomendation
I'll be in Curacao on the AOS on September 9, 2009. I'm hoping that some more experienced people can recommend some good snorkeling tour operators. I've seen Curacao Actief and Yuana Blou's websites, but are there any others?
Thanks!

Will you please post what you find for snorkeling in Curacao when you return. I will be there in Nov. Our ship is only in port until 1:30 p.m. I'd like to snorkel for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I have my own snorkel gear. I'd like to know if there is a snorkel guide with car or small boat that will take us to a few spots. I do not want to go with a large group. Or -- is it possible to get to these spots on my own within my limited time frame?
Snorkeled with "Renee" in Bonaire, April 2009. She is great!
Thanks for posting a reply upon your return.

I saw this thread and was hoping for more replys, surely someone knows some good tour companies or whatever's the best way to get to the snorkel sites.
Anyone been snorkeling there and got some reviews to post?

You might contact Suzy at thedivebus.com and see if they have a tour for you. They just put up a new land, lunch and snorkel tour. It is the full day tour.

Unfortunately our ship sails at 1:30 p.m. I can only do something for the morning and would like to use the time for snorkeling only. So far all I've found are large group tours that go beyond the sailing time. If I don't find something through CC, I will go to our local dive shop to see what info. they might have.

Sailing out at 1:30? What a bummer! Why do cruiselines do that? You never have time to really enjoy the port. Anyways, I hope you find something soon. Good luck.
