8 DAY ITINERARY FOR CURACAO NETHERLANDS ANTILLES

DAY A: Fly from Boise to Miami. Get a good nights sleep.

DAY 1: Fly from Miami to Curacao, transfer to Habitat Curacao.

DAY 2: Possible scuba and/or snorkeling refresher course. Complete two open water dives toward your PADI open water certification class with the proper signed PADI referral and medical forms. Complete your final two open water dives toward your PADI open water certification class on DAY 3. Non-divers will have the opportunity to try scuba diving. Curacao is interesting, fun and easy to dive from shore or from a boat.

DAYS 2,3,4,5,6,7:Each morning we will board our dive boats at the pier and head out for a standard (8:15 am to 1 pm) day of diving to a variety of beautiful sites. Although we will dive well within the decompression limits, a shallow reef shelf follows by a steep drop-off plunging down to 150 feet, then a gentler slope down to who-knows-where. Water temperatures range from 77 degrees F in the winter to 82 degrees F in the summer. Visibility is a consistent 80 - 150 feet with little or no current. Landside you'll find a sunny upper 80's everyday year round with a refreshing easterly breeze. Non-divers will have the chance to go snorkeling, beach combing, tanning or island exploring. Non-Divers can pay to snorkel from the boats.

DAY 8: Early morning departure and enough time to say good bye to our newly found friends. Fly Curacao to Boise or to your home. We will have waited at least 18 to 24 hours since our last dive before we fly.

VERY SPECIAL VALUE: Ocean Reef Ecology Diving Specialty is included. Two dives are required under the supervision of the instructor.
