Curacao is very similar to Bonaire only a little more developed. The shore diving is great, but be sure to ask about currents. Mushroom Forest was one of my favorites, lots of coral heads full of small moreys sticking their heads out as you go by. Along the shore is a underwater cave, very big, easy in and out, no danger. The ceiling is full of orange cup coral,and you can even take your mask off to look!, just a great dive site! I have been there 3 times and I am going back in October! There is more of a night life in the downtown area, shopping and the like. They have a bridge that moves aside for large boats rather than going up, kind of neat. Most airlines fly there. The fish are mostly smaller stuff, with lots of Morey's. The weather is pretty good all year and Curacao is below the hurricane belt so no worries! Basically, if you have been to Bonaire, you will like Curacao as well.
