If you are looking for an alternative to popular shore diving destinations like Bonaire, then you should consider diving in Curaçao.
Why? Curacao is laid out in a way that makes the southern side of the island perfect for shore diving.

The lack of strong winds means that divers can get their feet wet almost any time of year, and the diving from shore is calmer and safer.
