It is mesmerizing.

Yes, it is! I have a few wonderful videos of snorkeling with the many schools of Tang and an octopus. The water near Curacao is so salty its almost impossible to sink lol. Tugboat beach where they sunk a small tugboat is a nice snorkel there. There is the occasional seahorse (my personal favorite find) but mostly the usual reef fish are found. Nothing in Florida compares. Not having to worry about hurricanes (last one to hit Curacao was 1877) or alligators or crocodiles is a bonus!
