This will be our 22nd annual watersports flea market. We have lots of used equipment for sale including rental BCD’s & Regulators, gloves, and maybe a few drysuits! Hotdogs and drinks will be available. Do not worry if it rains……we have a few large tents to put up incase of emergency. We also have loads of brand new equipment at drastically reduced prices. Can’t make it but have stuff to sell……Bring it over for our trained staff to sell it for you at a minimal cost. Soooo…..bring out your old tired diving equipment and treat yourself to some new toys. Don’t you deserve it?
On a Sad Note

It is with great sadness that we must say goodbye to one of our store’s family members. After 20 years, Jim Folk is stepping down as our fearless manager and pursuing a different direction in his life. We will deeply miss having Jim around. On Saturday, April 21, we will be having a going away social for Jim all day long. To commemorate his 20 years of service to Scuba Venture, a 20% discount will be offered on your total purchase. Stop in, on this his last day, to say goodbye and to reflect on the memories you may have with Jim. We will greatly miss him and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Mark Stitzer
Curacao Day 4 & 5

Our WiFi was down, so we had to put two days into one post. Yesterday we went to Mushroom Forest to dive. This is a great dive spot with loads of corals, some shaped like giant mushrooms. Lots of little critters were found living under these coral formations. A few eagle rays passed through. The reefs do have a lot of lionfish living on them. The corals were in great shape. Star, brain and pillar corals were very healthy. There were large schools of creole wrasse, bogas, and brown & blue chromis. Two great dives yesterday. Today we went to Snake Bay and Blue Bay Gardens. Jacks chased the little schooling fish. Morays were swimming around looking for food. Big Scorpionfish and stonefish were found as well as peacock flounders. I have been to Curacao several times before, but don’t remember the reef being so healthy. Tonight the group went out to Perla del Mar Restaurant, down in town, near the old fort. After dinner the leftovers were given to the local moray eels that come up to the waters edge below your table. There were 30+ eels at any giving time. A great experience for all!

Curacao Day 3

We traveled to East End and Klein Curacao today. It was two more great dives. The coral formations were great and the fishlife was abundant. Today we saw turtles and you guessed it…..more eels! They do have pretty many lionfish in their waters, but only the divemasters are allowed to spear them. They still are a very pretty fish. The water temps. remain in the 79 to 81 degree area. It was not as windy today so it made for calm seas. After the 2nd dive, some of the divers swam to shore and took a short walk to the lighthouse, and the others just snorkeled around the boat or hung out. We also had lunch on the boat after our dives.Lots of amazing life in these waters. Tonight we are heading to a local seafood house for dinner and maybe the casino! talk with you all tomorrow!

Two more great dives with water temps. at 79 degrees. It was a little more windy today. We made dives to Blackrock and Barricuda point. We saw more eels of every type. We got to see them swimming around in search of food. We also got to play with a very cooperative octopus. He posed for all the photographers. Our divemasters have been great in locating different creatures. I even got to see a brown frogfish. Yesterday we saw big schools of creole wrasse and today we saw schools of blue tang and doctor fish. We went into town to look around at the various shops, had lunch and did some swimming in the pool before going out for dinner. Stay tuned for several pictures of our trip which you should see tomorrow.
