Curaçao is a well kept secret, with some of the best diving in the Caribbean. It has a fringing reef surrounding the island with calm water and great visibility. There is an abundance of fish life, healthy corals, macro life and even wrecks. There are mountains of brain, stony and elkhorn corals which are home to seahorses, frog fish and turtles galore. This is the perfect place to gain dive experience for new divers.

​

Curacao also offers an abundance of on-land and water based activities: hiking, shopping, visiting the colorful city of Willemstad, kayaking, zip-lining, spectacular snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding, Shete Boka National Park, a liqueur distillery to tour, or a visit to the Old Salt Farm near the wild flamingo meeting grounds.

We will be staying at the top of the line LionsDive Beach Resort, an ocean-front property with a large private beach, partnering with Ocean Encounters Curaçao dive center. The beautiful white sand beach has ample shade, lots of comfortable lounge chairs and seats at your disposal. While relaxing on the beach there is a drink and snack service! There is also snorkeling, an olympic-sized pool for lap swimming, a leisure pool, a fully equipped gym, a full service spa, and yoga and cross training on the beach.

The LionsDive Beach Resort is known as the “natural place to stay” due to its idyllic setting and perfect location. You walk out of your room and are right at the dive shop, or the gorgeous Mambo beach.

​

This 4 star property has 4 on-site restaurants and bars for your dining pleasure! Our week will have breakfast and dinners included.
