A fun dive! I saw two scorpion fish, a flounder, a drumfish, and a frogfish. The dive guide took me to see the frogfish and I amost ran out of air.

We did this as a drift dive. There was a lot of nice hard corals on this dive - the pilar coral in particular was impressive. There were also a lot of really nice sponges. There was a big group of barracuda towards the start of the dive.

19.8m - 47 min

This was a calm relaxing dive. It was nice but not too noteworthy except for some interesting sponges. My camera started leaking a bit so I ended the dive a bit early.

This was a pretty dive - the small wall had some nice plate coral on it. We saw a dancing peppermint shrimp and a really tiny drumfish. Since I didn't have my camera, Justin was messing with me and tried to take my fin.

2021-12-16 - Double Reef, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles

23.3m - 50 min

This might have been a good dive but the strong current and low visibility made it less enjoyable than it might have been. We saw jawfish, turtles, a drumfish, a sharp tail eel, a pipefish, and an unusual anemone (elegant anemone)

2021-12-16 - Shipwreck Point, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles

21m - 58 min

This dive wasn't very good - there was a strong current and low visibility so we had to do it as a drift dive and there was a lot of dead coral where we drifted. We saw a scorpion fish, sgt. major eggs, a moray eels, and a sharp tail eel. There was a coral nursery where we did our safety stop.
