Ranked among the Caribbean’s best islands for diving, called one of the top destinations for new divers, home to "Mushroom Forest" - one of the top dives in the world, and rated best in the Caribbean for shore diving, Curaçao is, or should be, on any diver’s wish list of places to visit.

After having two successful Dive Festivals in 2006 and 2007, and in an effort to continue to share its underwater splendor with the rest of the world, Curaçao is getting ready for Dive Festival 2008.

Registration is FREE and visitors can enjoy a week full of guided dives, educational seminars and marine art painting workshops for young and old, while nightfall brings happy hour gatherings with live entertainment, movies on the beach and the option to do night dives.

Visitors are welcome to join the full week of activities, or just join in for two or three days, since it’s a free “festival” there is no monetary commitment that ties visitors to a strict schedule. As an extra bonus participating local dive operators are offering special priced diving during the festival.

World famous experts from across North America will lead the Curaçao Dive Festival program with exiting educational seminars throughout the festival.
