* Golden rules for eco friendly diving Teach divers about about the basic rules of eco friendly diving: Good control of neutral buoyancy. Use of the right flipper technique & swim position. Attach all lose devices. Avoid contact with bottom & /or sea life. Don't remove anything from the water except fresh trash. Not use gloves nor knee protectors. Practice these rules on each dive. Remind all divers before each about these basic rules. Supply information about nature & enviromental issues. Don't tollerate that corals & other sea life are being touched. Don't offer corals or other sea life for sale. On board use sealable trash cans to avoid any spill. Don't dump trash, waste water or oil in sea. Use designated buoces to more or place anker by hand to avoid damage to the coral. Be a member of a dive operation or conservation association and support actively programs that contribute to projects to perserve the fragile underwater life.

Underwater sports Nowhere in the world snorkeling or diving is so easy as in Curaçao.
There are many nice beaches where you can simply walk from the shore into the sea to snorkel or dive. The only things you need is your equipment, the drive & dive map and a handy car to take all your equipment along. The Suzuki Ignes or mini bus, a station wagon or the Kia Sportage are excellent to take all your dive equipment + the scuba tanks you'll need along.

Diving
Dive shops have popped up all around the island. As a service Limestone also has a very small one with a recognition for eco friendly diving. So read & practice the 10 eco friendly diving rules*. As we love the coral reefs as much or even more than our wives, we like to help preserve it and not contribute to bleaching & so. We have all sizes of snorkel and dive sets. We also have a no of scuba tanks for shore diving or can refer you to a nearby dive center like Silent Immersion. You can get your PADI Open Water certificate in 4 to 5 days. As we are a very small dive center we work together with other good dive schools such as Atlantis Diving, Silent Immersion or Ocean Encounters.

Boat diving
Most dive sites can be reached from the shore. We really promote shore diving and offer this as a perfect package: apartment + car + tanks. But for those who do want to do boat diving. The Curaçao Marine Park is only a few minutes away. Here we will find some of the best dive sites with ledges and walls: Punt' i Piku, Kabayé, Directors Bay, Tugboat, Lost Anchor, Kabes Kibrá and Saba.
At these special spots you will practically be diving alone. For boat diving Ocean Encounters has the best dive boats. On Santa Cruz you'll find the Water Taxi, which can take you to the Mushroom forest. In Westpoint you'lll find All West & again Ocean Encounters which can take you to Wata Mula.
The Mermaid can take you to Klein Curaçao.

Dive buddy
For divers who need a buddy, sometimes you are lucky to find another diver here in Limestone. You can also try a buddy finder site. We recommend the Dive Bus or some dive centers. And you can still make an intro or guided dive.

Dive sites
There are many dive sites in Curacao. For an overview look at the dive sites of Curaçao Aktief or TenHam. We have the Drive & Dive map with all the dive & snorkel spots. We can help you point out how to get there + give tips about the bests ones.
We even made an uw video about all the dive sites, you can see on the web.

Baby sitting.
A baby sitter can be contracted for a fee. Mostly it will be hard to find one in the morning. In the afternoon & evening will be easier and we ourselves can offer our services.
