lhargrove62 Posted November 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I will be going to Grand Turk (7am-2pm), La Romana, (9:30-4:30), Curacao (1:30-10:30) and Aruba (8:00-4:00) in September 2018. I can only dive at two stops so I want to make sure I chose the best two. Can you please help me chose the best two stops to dive? Any suggestions on private dive shops would be greatly appreciated.

I've only dove in two of the four, so I can't claim to say which are the best two. I have' great experiences on both Curacao and Aruba. For Aruba, I always dive with Happy Divers Aruba. Super service with never more than four divers on the boat. (http://www.happydiversaruba.com) Jeffrey there will arrange for port pick-up and return, and the prices are quite reasonable. The diving there - as on all the ABC islands is great. Aruba is nice because a lot of the great sites are relatively shallow, so you get a lot of bottom time. For Curacao, I was just there a month ago, and found a great dive op, after a recommendation here on Cruise Critic; CURious2Dive. (http://www.curious2dive.com). Curacao - Like Bonnaire - is more centered on shore diving. However, the sea life and dive sites are well worth it. Hans at CURious2dive will also arrange for port pick-up and return, and provides great service. Harris Denver, CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I could finally offer a recommendation since I rely on your advice for our dives. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk Yes, thank you! That was exactly the operator I had hoped to find. We'll be back in February, and already booked dives with him again.
