Salt air and a slow Caribbean swell set the morning as a minivan winds away from Willemstad toward the island’s fringing reefs. Within thirty minutes you’re at a small shore entry: clear water, warm current, and a compact team sorting tanks and checking kit. The guide briefs the group, and certified divers slip below a surface bright with sun to explore coral bommies, reefs and nearshore wrecks.
