For cruisers who like to scuba dive, the Dutch islands in the southern Caribbean offer some of the world’s best and least crowded dive sites (published August 2017)
One of the greatest things about the cruising life for my wife Virginia and me is the freedom and ability to scuba dive just about every place we go. We have been out here over three years now and could write volumes of all the incredible dives we have had while cruising. From the Florida Keys through the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, USVI, BVI’s all through the Leewards and the Windwards. It has been an amazing journey both above and below the waterline.
We are currently bouncing back and forth between Bonaire and Curacao and have been here since late January this year. It is a wonderful cruising area yet we see very few cruisers in comparison to all the other islands we’ve visited. I guess that is because they are out of the way and unless you are coming or going to/from Colombia or Panama most cruisers would not travel this far south as a “destination”. However, we have done so and we highly recommend it to anyone for many reasons. First and foremost would be the diving! Read more.
