I’d like to tell you a secret: It’s about a divers’ Mecca that has remained off the radar for years. It’s Curacao, an island in the Netherlands Antilles, just north of Venezuela, in the southern Caribbean. Having come under the influence of more than 55 cultures, through 400 years of human habitation, it’s a true tropical melting pot. It has everything from cosmopolitan city life, to great restaurants and vibrant culture, to the pure silence of a perfect beach. As fascinating as Curacao is above the water, it’s equally appealing down below.
