Gear Storage

All dive guests are welcome to leave their gear at the dive shop. We have a locked open-air room perfect for drying gear between dives. Sunset Divers will provide each guest with a key to the room so they can access their gear 24-hours/day. In addition, we keep plenty of full tanks in the gear room for anyone interested in shore diving outside the shop's normal hours.

Dive Sites

Curacao offers some of the most spectacular diving in the Caribbean. Most of the dive sites are gently-sloping walls that start at 15-20 feet and extend beyond recreational limits.

Sunset Divers routinely dives over 20 dive sites on the west end of Curacao, including Mushroom Forest, one of Curacao's premier sites.

We regularly encounter: spotted drums, moray eels, snake eels, flounder, hawksbill turtles, lettuce leave slugs, angelfish, flatworms, seahorses, frogfish and much more!

Shore Diving

Many dive sites in Curacao are accessible by shore, although most divers prefer the convenience of diving from a boat. Dive Site #17, the Airplane, is located steps away from our dive shop.

Diving Conditions

Water temperature ranges from 78°F - 84°F, and divers are generally comfortable in a 3.00mm wetsuit or less.

Dive Boats

Sunset Divers has two dive boats. The weather, the number of divers, and the logistics of the specific week all determine which boat we will use.

• Day Dreamer is a 44-foot boat with twin inboard diesels and a huge open deck space. Entry procedure is a giant stride off the stern platform. The boat has 2 ladders which sit low in the water to allow for easy access onboard. Day Dreamer has plenty of shade, dry storage, two camera rinse bins, and a freshwater shower on board. The boat is rated for 24 divers, however we limit to 21.
• Day Tripper is a 31-foot boat with twin Yamaha 100 hp outboards. It is a small and fast dive boat, perfect for smaller groups. Entry procedure is a back-roll off the side. The boat has two ladders - one on each side. In addition, Day Tripper has plenty of shade and limited dry storage. The boat is rated for 16 divers, however we limit to 10.

Rental Equipment

Sunset Divers has a full range of rental equipment. We have weighted integrated BDC's, Aqualung  and Cressi regulators, Suunto wrist-mount computers, and all of our equipment is less than 6-months old.

Customer Service

Sunset Divers places a large emphasis on customer service. Each morning, the staff will set up the boat with regulators and BCD's. During the surface interval, the dive staff will switch all gear to a full tank. In addition, we will rinse and hang the gear once the boat returns to the dock. All that is left to do is relax and enjoy your vacation!

Tips

It is our belief that no company should include a service charge in the price of the services rendered.

The staff of Sunset Divers works very hard to ensure a safe, fun, and relaxing scuba vacation. We enjoy what we do and we look forward to providing your group with a superior dive vacation!
