09/01/2007 Kelly (Avg: 3.81 Review) - Made a point to drive up here from Habitat to dive. Super friendly folks at Sunset Divers Dive Shop. The airplane is really nothing to see. Brought our own tanks, drove right down the steep hill to the dive shop to unload the tanks and gear, and then parked. Suited up on the bench and walked right into the lagoon. They actually have wheel barrels for you to get your gear to the waters-edge with benches there to suit up that much closer. Super easy to navigate in and out of the lagoon between the breakers which means no surf entry since it's a lagoon and flat calm.

06/04/2005 Anonymous (Avg: 3.78 Review) - We stayed for 10 days at Sunset Waters, and went for over a dozen shore dives through the lagoon to give us some variety from the boat dives (which were very good). The reef at the wreck and to the south ("Wet Suit City") is in great shape. We never experienced significant currents, and the visibility, except for one day after a heavy rain, was Cayman-like. Take a camera and look for bristleworms, lettuce leaf nudibranchs and arrow crabs. We routinely encountered scorpionfish, so watch out where you put your hands! The entrance and exit through the sandy lagoon will spoil you. Don't waste your time diving north of the wreck toward the harbor--it's silted up.

05/02/2004 Anonymous (Avg: 4.95 Review) - We stayed at the Sunset Waters resort at which the dive site is located. We did multiple day and night dives. Excellent coral and fish life. Best reef diving is to the left of the lagoon. Excellent dive shop!

04/06/2004 Jim Homan (Avg: 3.37 Review) - Immediately in front of entry, reef not bad. Go 200 yards to the south and it gets pretty bad. Go 100 yards to the north and visibility goes down to zero where bay enters into ocean.

07/24/2001 Fiona Rattray (Avg: 3.65 Review) - You can dive down and drop off your gear, but you must park up the hill, than walk back down. The day we were there, the surge and viz was quite bad (for Curacao) and we had encounters with those little stinging whatsis in the shallows (you know, the kind that make your lips go numb); fish life on the wreck had decided to go elsewhere due to the currents running the opposite of normal...very macro blennies...at the end of the dive, we walked back up the hill in the aerial view to the parking lot in full gear, a bit of a workout.
