P<\/span>artnerships are a continuous process. You get to know each other, even appreciate each other over time, and at some point you realize that your individual ideas and goals match. And then you start to think about how you could realize the shared idea even better together. And then at some point you tell others – like you!<\/p>\n They’re just like you and me – born and raised on the island or “emigrants” living their own personal dream on Curacao every day. We’ve been friends with our partners for a long time and see them often on the island, in Europe, or elsewhere.<\/p>\n He’s been successfully organizing unforgettable diving experiences as an \u201call-round carefree package\u201d for you for many years. He works with the top addresses on the island (such as Ocean Encounters, Dive Bus and All West Diving). In addition, Bryan offers you comprehensive information and impressive videos of all the dive sites on his website divecuracao.info<\/a>.\u00a0He’s got great connections with the top hotels and accommodation providers (like Lions Dive) and can tailor your trip to be all about luxury or just diving. And he’s always on site, so he’s there for you whenever you need him. It’s a huge advantage!<\/p>\n Bryan and Maike meet for an interview at Hemingway<\/p><\/div>\n He runs the largest English-language news channel curacaochronicle.com<\/a> for Curacao as chief editor, is (like Bryan) a really nice guy. Aldrich is on the road every day and provides you – independently – with all the information you need before, during and after your stay. During the pandemic, this included unadorned and reliable daily Covid-19 figures for the island. With Aldrich, you\u2019re in the loop and can stay informed about what\u2019s going on island-wide, based on the facts, no matter where you are.<\/p>\n Aldrich being interviewed at Ginger<\/p><\/div>\n He\u00a0is the owner of the diving center Go West Diving<\/a> and the All West Apartments<\/a> in Westpunt, which is a diver’s paradise on Cura\u00e7ao. Louis has become a favorite of ours because he offers safe diving with his team at the dive center right on Playa Kalki. His apartments at Playa Grandi<\/a> are ideally located for divers. We got to know Louis through our best friends Sonni & Alex, who lived on the island a few years ago and have been friends with him for decades.<\/p>\n Last but not least, we have Susanne and Michael with their daughter Lara! They run some great accommodations on Curacao, such as the Whitehouse in Lagun<\/a>. We’ve been visiting the Whitehouse for several years, and we’ve done joint barbecues and various restaurant\/bar<\/a> tours. The result is a lively friendship. If you’ll be her guest, Susanne welcomes you warmly at Curacao. She is always there for you and there is no better introduction to the real \u201csweet spots\u201d of the island than from her – personal and empathetic support included.<\/p>\n Michael, Susanne, Maike and Lara enjoying a refreshing drink at Avila Beach Hotel<\/p><\/div>\n You might have noticed the professional underwater videos from the YouTube channel “Dive Curacao”<\/a>\u00a0in some of our articles. These were put together with passion and lots of work by our partner naturepicsfilms.com<\/a>. A big thank you to Yvonne and Tilo K\u00fchnast<\/strong>, whot support us and gave permission to offer you these fantastic insights into the underwater world<\/a>. Have a look at their website<\/a> to see more of their work. You can find their photos on all the major photo stock platforms. Do videos move you even more? Then you’ll find what you’re looking for on their YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Absolutely not! We only recommend our partners \u201con site\u201d because we\u2019re convinced of them and they can simply organize your stay better (and probably even cheaper) than a travel agency here in distant Europe ever could. Our partners live on the island and are passionate about what they offer you and us. Talk to our partners! Mention that you heard about them through us and get your own individual offer. Asking costs nothing, even on Curacao.<\/p>\n What are or were your experiences like? Have you booked or spent time with one of our partners? Please leave us a comment. We’d love to hear about your personal experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_trash_the_other_posts":false,"editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"home-article-highlight":[],"class_list":["post-871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-static","post_format-post-format-image"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWho is part of the network?<\/h3>\n
