Curacao Gears Up for Dive Festival

Curacao is announcing the dates for its Second Annual Dive Festival, May 26 through June 2. After a successful Dive Festival in 2006, and in an effort to continue to share its underwater splendor with the world and invite visitors to come explore the depths of the island’s surrounding waters, Curacao is preparing for its 2007 Dive Festival.

“As a new diver I could not have found a better event to attend than the First Annual Curacao Dive Festival,” commented George Willis, a participant in the 2006 Dive Festival. “The speakers were great and to be able to actually meet and dive with them was unreal.”

Registration is free and visitors can enjoy a week full of guided dives, workshops, seminars and advanced dives, while nightfall brings happy hour gatherings with live entertainment, movies on the beach, BBQs and night dives.

Visitors are welcome to join the full week of activities, or just join in for two or three days, since it’s a free festival there is no monetary commitment that ties visitors in to a strict schedule. Plus, local dive operators are offering special packages throughout the festival.
