Review Date AVG ShoreDiving Site 09/28/2005 3.71 Black Rock (Sheraton) Maui, Hawaiian IslandsSwimming with huge sea turtles is a huge draw to this site. I saw about 6 of them in total each of the three times I snorkeled here. The water can be rough, since you face open ocean. One day it was exhausting to swim against the current, but the other two days it was fine. Also, beware of the dumb tourists who climb the lava rocks and then jump into the water. They ignore the signs telling them not to climb the rocks. You can be swimming out to snorkel and have one land on you. Water was clear and conditions great each time. 10/14/2004 4.28 Cas Abao Curacao, ABC IslandsWe took a diving boat from the Marriott to this location. We only snorkeled while everyone else dove. It was so lovely that we rented a car and went back by ourselves. After paying the small fee, you have a nice beach to relax on and get some food/drink. We drove to many other snorkeling spots, too. We found it nice to have facilities like this spot has, because the hot sun makes you crave a break from it once in a while. Snorkeling was good and then resting under a palpa in between snorkels at this spot was ideal. 10/14/2004 4.60 Vaersen Bay Curacao, ABC IslandsWe only snorkeled here. I am not a diver. There were two ways to get in the water. The first is to walk on this rickety old pier to the end and put on your snorkel stuff and ease in. The pier has some slimy wood steps at the end. The waves kind of hit you and push you a bit as you get in and the slippery steps are a little tricky. No biggy. The other way to enter the water is to walk and the beach to the shore and gear up for entry. The shore is hard on your bare feet. Either is ok but not all locations have an old pier like this one did. There is some shade on shore but no facilities. |
