Rolex SeaDweller 16600 in Curacao -- Dive Pictures

I recently did some diving in Curacao and thought that a few of the members here might be interested in some dive photos. Nothing like a Rolex underwater IMHO

Thanks for sharing! I've been to Curacao several times in the past 3 years but did snorkeling only, I'm not a diver. Which beaches/sites were you diving from? My personal favorite is Porto Marie.

We spent most of our time in Westpunt diving 'Alice in Wonderland' and the sites to the far northwest of the island
