![]() I was lucky enough to get to do that dive on two different days.Ĭuracao is a large, developed island and navigating around wasn’t particularly easy. The wreck is laid out well for easy penetration. In one photo I counted over 25 tarpon cruising by. The Superior Producer, on the other hand, is a large coastal freighter and has more tarpon on it than I’ve ever seen before. I was mesmerized by the Glassy Sweeper fish that circled endlessly inside the ship, making it seem like an aquatic lava lamp. The Tugboat is a very small wreck in shallow water but it has a surprising amount of life on it. Of the dives we did, my two favorites were probably the Tugboat and the Superior Producer. There were lots of small to mid sized fish on the dives but very few bigger fish. If anybody would like to have that map, let me know and I can bring it to the Jan meeting. The shop was a big help with pointers about each of the sites we were thinking of. We picked up a map that shows all of them, but it’s still lacking critical information like where to park, where the best entries are and such. There aren’t any numbered rocks and there’s no other signage indicating a dive site. The dive sites aren’t as easy to find as they are on Bonaire. For the most part it was easy, leisurely diving. Most of the dives we did were wall dives, with a little bit of time spent in the shallows as well. As it was, we covered a large portion of the west / south side of the island. If I did the trip again, I’d probably mix in a day or two of boat diving as well, to get to some of the highly-touted remote sites. The trip was planned to be entirely shore diving, which we did. ![]() I think the shop is moving locations soon though, to one of the resort hotels. We didn’t plan it this way, but we got lucky and the dive shop was literally just down the hill from the Airbnb. We were diving with Goby Divers since DeepGeek needed sorb for his rebreather. Traveling internationally during Covid is interesting to say the least, but we managed to make it to the island and got checked in at our Airbnb at Royal Palms condos, which had an awesome view of the water. It's great entertainment.In November, DeepGeek and I made a trip to Curacao, where everything is dushi. I go here at least twice a year it's an excellent place for birthdays or if your single and going Dutch with some friends. why go to a fancy oriental restaurant and not order at least one thing that's seafood. However everyone I have ever talked to who gets the steak likes combination plates if they don't like sushi. I like squid and it's hard to find a place that cooks it to perfection in the Midwest. Which yes it's a steak house so you should get steak. Lots of food I always get the calamari teriyaki. Meal come with soup, salad, shrimp, rice, veggies, sprouts, main entree of your choosing, ice cream etc. Their dinners are pricey but the portion is humongous so you have enough left over for lunch the next day. I will sometimes go with a friend and split a sashimi delux with a hibachi dinner. Snow crab and fatty white tuna is my all time favorite sushi pieces. I will occasionally order fish over rice. I usually prefer cucumber rolls, tuna, salmon rolls, simple with good tasting fish. If you want to try rolls the crazy boy is good. I love this place, I have not had s bad meal yet.
