Deep Blue: Diving by day; resort by night

Dive or snorkel off Curacao with a small, friendly gay group.

Curaçao is a gay-friendly oasis in the colorful Caribbean. Our land-based week-long holiday is based in Curacao’s newest luxury resort, Lodge Kura Hulanda and Beach Club, a secluded beachfront hideaway situated on the Island’s West End. The waters surrounding Curacao win awards for their diving and snorkeling, offering the best of the Caribbean, including diverse sea life, soft coral, and abundant healthy fish all relatively close by with great visibility.

For divers, we offer two dives each morning, unlimited shore dives, and at least one night dive for enthusiasts. Curacao also offers casual divers, snorkelers and partners who wish to spend more time on land abundant opportunities for a great island experience. Willemstad is a lovely and lively town dating back to the 1500s. There is plenty to explore in town or just by kicking back on our private beach and relaxing. Curaçao has something for everyone.

Highlights:

Dive Alice in Wonderland, also known as Playa “Kalki,” a magnificent reef featuring green moray eels, lobsters, star coral and a vivid array of brightly colored reef fish.
Visit the Mushroom Forest, one of Curaçao's most popular dive sites, with a sloping reef and huge mushroom-shaped coral formations. Average visibility is 90 feet.
Explore the historic capital city of Willemstad, the 1500s city famous for its blue liqueur.
Spend the week in one of the finest diving resorts in the Caribbean, Lodge Kura Hulanda & Beach Club.
For non-divers, there is excellent snorkeling from the shore or a boat, and we can also arrange for an interesting alternate program for the week.
And best of all, spend the week with a fantastic group of people.

Is it the right vacation for you? This trip is designed for SCUBA divers and snorkelers, but may also be enjoyed by those who want a leisurely tropical island experience.
