Which Marriot? The old one is further west; the new one is very close to Willimstad and that's where we will be staying.
Have you selected a dive operation? Self-guiding isn't a great idea for a new diver. Even if you feel comfortable without a dive master, you're likely to miss lots of the best stuff. Some of the sites are a little hard to find if you don't know where you're going. We used the Dive Bus last time, and will be doing the same this week. Mark and Suzi are great. I can recommend them without hesitation.
Check this thread in a day or two for a link to my Flickr page. I'll be posting pictures. (Hopefully really good ones ... I just got a new camera
)
