Curacao
(pronounced [kura'são]) is an island in the southern part of the
Caribbean Sea. The isle is the largest and most populous
of the three so-called ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and
Curacao), and belongs to the Netherlands Antilles, a
self-governing part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Curacao is renowned for its coral reefs, which make it an
excellent spot for scuba diving. The beaches on the south
side contain many popular diving spots.
