nice dive?. ver easy, lots of different things to see and of course a wreck. start to the left. dive at the boy (nwar the tug boat) go on till half tank aepund 15-20m turn and swim back at 5-10. at the tug boat you get your saftey stop because the tug is around 3m... when you have air left go on to the pier... this time there was a big boat so no go for us

I would really recommend this dive because we did the tug boat before this dive we started to the left (we already saw the right side with the tug boat dive, but when you didnt the tug boat go to the right) at the left is the wall going all the way.? at some point around 16m the wall is completely vertical. starts at around 8m till 30/35m. enormous. lots of fish. at half tank we went up around 6-7m... very nice to with hard corals and big plants. definitely going again by the way, this is the old Shell directors bay... it is in the name haha
Wat een enorme stroming hier... we hebben enorm gezwommen om bij de car wrecks te komen, maar uiteindelijk niet gelukt. Halve fles net boven de eerste wrakstukken dus omdraaien. Aan de oppervlakte was ook geen optie, omdat er teveel golven stonden. Maar wel mooie duik. Trouwens eerste keer mijn nieuwe spullen uitgeprobeerd. Had 1 kg te weinig bij me en was nog even wennen met het nieuwe vest. Maar dat komt goed

First dive of the day. A shame my go pro stopped working. But that didn't matter. We saw the Neptunus just in front of us at around 8 meters. After that we went to the left en saw 1 big cong and 2 sea turles. What a day and it just started next dive at Playa Kalki together with my buddies Kenneth, Kamir en Tim who joint us by facebook.

we planned to go to the Superior Producer.. A cruise ship made those plans inpossible, so no diving at the Superior Producer at night.... Instead we went for a training dive (deep and night together). My buddy Fons also a rescue diver trainee tried to simulate the dive at the superior. Didn't went down fast enough and his light was blinding me all the time. Next time he takes a other light which isnt as bright as his own We saw 3 crabs and a squid at 10 cm... Fons shot some nice pictures and movies..

2015-12-04 - Habitat (Sint Marie Reef), Coral Estate, Netherlands Antilles
18.9m - 44 min
Very nice dive with Richard. The dive was very interesting, because the scenery changed all the time. With limited visibility, nice coral, big fish and some areas covered with only sand and "sandstorms" made the dive very nice! Going to do that again. PS just swim as far to the right as possible and use the beaches to walk on. Then dive in the direction of the Tug Boat.
Lion fish hunt with Niels Bouwmeester. Nice and save dive. We shot around 40 lion fish
Nice dive with Kamir, Kenneth and Rehmy. Bit of a current but it was nice. No turtle this time but we saw 3 morene eals, 3 scorpion fish, and lots of coral.
Not a very relaxing dive. We were just rushing through the water to follow the leader.
Advanced dive of Richard... he was only thinking of work and not diving. Was difficult to buddy with him
Very fun dive. It was a Easter egg search and rescue mission. 30 eggs were hidden on the reef by the Easter bunny. Site itself has beautifull rock formations, but a lot of garbage can be found here. Should be cleaned up some time.
Great spot with a lot of healthy corals and lots of fish. Saw 2 spiny lobsters together under a rock, some moral eels, and very very nice fish. Have to train more with my buddy, because on the way back he never looked at me and swam and swam. He said he lost me and that's why he continued, but i have learned to surface if you lost you buddy. Weird happening.
Very nice dive, this time to the left. Still great place to dive here!!! Have to come here more often. Saw lots of fish and very beautiful corals. Communication with buddy was much better... but after a while diving and turning around by half bottle we stayed some sort of deep. It was our second dive that day. I dove with nitrox so my bottom time was much longer than that of by buddy who was on air. At a certain time i only had 10 mins left on my computer and i wondered if my buddy wasn't already in deco. And yes he was, without noticing it. We went up and had to stay for 11 mins on 3 meter. Just swam very shallow and when we came back stayed for 5 mins near a rock waiting. Everything went well though.

Very nice dive with Kitty and Paul. Thank you for the nitrox!!! Saw a flounder (Paul told me) and some big fish. Kitty even spotted much more, but i had a other experience. Going to the toilet under water is possible hahaha.

Second dive of the day. Not the best planning because this was a deep dive. But with a 1,5 hour break is was ok... Could stay for 15 mins at the wreck. Still one of the best spots on the island. Visibility was excellent, you could see the whole wreck from the surface. And dozens of tarpoons. 30 or something.
Superb night dive on the Superior Producer. What a colors when those lamps shine on the wreck. Great dive with buddy Paul. Made some great movies under water but they are to big to post here. We were exactly above the wreck, but decided before descending to swim a little bit more to the shore. Wasn't necessary but we found the wreck.
Dive and Dine, great concept! First you get an explanation about lion fish, then you shoot it yourself and when you did shoot lion fish they will make you a fine meal out of lion fish. Sashimi, serveche and lion fish from the bqq. Everything on the beach with a sunset on the background. Great way of living.
Second lion fish hunt. Shot my biggest ever (out of 3 dives hahaha). One lion fish of 1,2 kg. It was a really big one. Furthermore nice swim and saw a moral eel and a spiny lobster.
Today a dive with the Aquanauts family. Nice spot (Victors Bay/Vissersdorp). A lot of current and had to carry a buoy with me... I will never do that again. It was irritating during the whole dive, took a lot of air especially because the current was very very strong and a lot of waves where coming in.
Nice dive with Richard. 6 turtles around us and saw a frog fish. No current and just easy diving.
Relaxed boat night dive. Saw a lobster and great corals.

Jordie Bush Reef at East Point... this is the most beautiful reef of Cruaçao till this moment. Great place. Was the goodbye dive of Jordy together with Paul.
Dive at Klein Curaçao. Not the nicest dive, especially on our way back over the sand plateau.

First dive I encountered nitrogen narcosis. Started at 21m... after informing my buddy we went up to 12m... during the ascend the narcosis immediately went away. Why it occurred I dont know, never happened before. Finished the dive at 12m... really nice place.

Diving with the Aquanauts again. Took ages to get in the water, but at the end a very nice dive. Very flat bottom with hugh mushroom shaped corals at an average of 15m deep. Only the swim out took some 10 mins.
Dive with the Diving Society up to 10 people. It was a relaxed dive, even after a couple of months no diving. After the dive was not fun anymore. Probably had a sinus squeeze with lots of pain during the afternoon. Went on monday to a dentist, but he couldn't find anything relating to the teeth, therefor it was probably a sinus squeeze.
