Good morning!
Yesterday, I planned two separate dives; one on a wreck: Superior Producer, and another night dive at the house reef Jan Thiel bay. A brief history on the wreck ..
The day the Superior Producer sank in 100 feet of water just outside the busy port of Willemstad, off the island of Curacao, the people of the island cheered. Almost immediately, blue jeans, cotton T-shirts, sheets and crates of whisky began to wash up on shore. The 240-foot cargo ship’s hold was filled at the time with clothes and drink, headed for Venezuela for the Christmas shopping season. In fact, it had been greedily overloaded and had left port against the advice of its captain, whose dire warnings became reality almost before the crew had finished waving good-bye to the people on the shore. The ship’s cargo shifted in the ocean swells, and the Superior Producer sank quickly and on an even keel. Local divers had a great time in their “rescue” efforts “recovering” the cargo. In just a few days, everyone on the island was dressed in new clothes (those who couldn’t dive bought items at an extremely discounted rate at the local markets) and roaring drunk.

After diving the wreck, we’ve got back to the diving centre (Scuba Do) and cleaned up our gear. I planned a night dive later that day with Harry. He’s here in order to complete his Dive Master certification, and is almost done with the studying
. We found several Moray Eels and one of ‘m allowed close proximity because of my Sola 600 red diving light.

After the night dive we ate tenderloins at Tinto, a le-gen-da-ry Argentine restaurant!
Cheerios,
Jaap, Anja and Loïs
