Going on a cruise this summer with stops in Aruba & Curacao. Looking for a dive shop recommendations in both ports.

Experienced divers. 6am port call with 9pm departure in Aruba, so if we can do a morning and afternoon dive that would be great.

TIA

We used the dive op at our resort in Curaao : Sunscape Curacao Resort.

We have not visited Aruba, but have been diving in Bonaire multiple times since that is the one ABC island nonstop from IAH.

I've used Red Sail Sports in Aruba - I was a brand new diver but had a great experience with them, to include them allowing me to rebook a dive after I had zero clue how much extra weight it was going to take for me to sink in salt water vs. fresh.

That's ~20 years ago but we have used them for non-dive activities many times since then and all have been well managed.

Thanks for the info. I reached out to Pure Diving. They look like the one closest to the cruise terminal.

Double check your bags for stray ammo.

We dove with https://www.oceanencounters.com/ . We were staying at a resort. It was good diving all the way up to the last dive. The boat captain lost track of our group and we got swept in a current that pulled us away from shore. It took about 45 minutes for the boat to find us!

Hopefully that captain is not with them anymore.

For a situation like this, I think I would only book with the cruise company, so ship doesn't get you back on time.
