Aruba, Curacao, and Dominica??

[Tiki_Man]

Need suggestions for Private operators in Aruba, Curacao and Dominica. Would prefer boat diving, not crowded. Also, prefer wreck diving if possible.

 

Thanks

Aruba - go to the beach, you can dive here, but the diving is bottom rung compared to other caribbean islands. I have dove a wreck there, don't remember the name, it's south along the coastline from where the ships dock.

 

Curacao - Caribbean SeaSports has been good to me over the years. They are the onsite operator at the Marriott Hotel. ~10 minute cab ride from where the ships dock.

Dominica - Nature Island Dive is the bomb on Dominica. The ship anchors mid island, the best diving is in the Scotts Head point area on the southern end where a marine park exsists. They are located in Soufriere inside the marine park. The best sites are minutes from the dock.

The wreck is the Antilla. I made an extra effort to dive it when I stopped there on a cruise. I didn't think it was all that great.

 

Curacao - I've like to try out http://www.the-dive-bus.com/
