Carnival on Curaçao!
Gay & Lesbian Scuba Winter Escape

On Curaçao, the live and let live attitude of the Dutch welcomes you to the warm waters of the Caribbean. The cosmopolitan port of Willemstad, with its excellent restaurants and unique Dutch colonial architecture painted in bright Caribbean colors, is about 45 minutes from the resort.

Located on the uncrowded west side of the island, Coral Estate Luxury Resort features an excellent house reef for easy shore diving right off its own beach, two pools, internet access, fitness center, and two onsite restaurants.

Curacao's reefs are healthy and protected by the National Curacao Underwater Park, and the PADI Coral Divers dive shop is located right on the hotel premises. You'll dive two tanks from a limited-capacity boat for six mornings plus unlimited socially-distanced shore diving.

If you've dreamed of learning to dive but haven't yet had the opportunity, this is your chance! You can complete the PADI Open Water scuba course on this trip and learn to dive in invitingly clear, warm water. Divers who are already certified can earn their Advanced Open Water qualification here. Call or e-mail us to learn more.
