Dive Information & Itineraries
Curaçao Dive Sites
- Eel Valley
- On the east side of Santa Barbara Resort, and just underneath its golf course, we find this amazing dive site.
- Booby Trap
- Perfect place to work on some sponge identification: all types of sponges cover the slope.
- Double Reef
- West of Santa Ana Bay, this double reef has its shallows covered with small brain corals and loads of sun anemones.
- Shipwreck Point
- This is like diving inside an aquarium! Next to our dive shop, sits one of the healthiest reefs around Curacao.
- Beacon Point
- Currents make this site an intermediate to advanced dive. You will see the largest pillar coral formation in the Caribbean at this dive.
- Klein Curacao
- A very special trip for divers only. They say that in Klein Curacao underwater everything is bigger and there is more of it.
- Cornelius Bay
- Elkhorn Coral can be spotted during this dive on the plateau. Seahorses are found around the many gorgonians along the wall.
- Mushroom Forest
- One of the most famous dive sites in Curacao. Over time hard coral formations have grown in such a way that they resemble mushrooms, hence the name.
- Superior Producer
- Sport Diver Magazine rates the Superior Producer as one of the Caribbean’s best wreck dives. This cargo freighter sunk in December of 1977 and is now sitting upright at a depth of 100ft/30m.
- Newport
- This beautiful and pristine Curacao dive site is only accessed by Ocean Encounters. A beautiful slope with great star coral, brain coral, and soft gorgonians.
- Smokeys
- How to describe this wonderful Curacao dive? It is pristine with large dense corals, great visibility and simply beautiful.
- Blue Bay Gardens
- A true underwater garden. Box crabs in the sand, octopus, and baby clusters of brain and star corals. On the slope gorgonians, large brain and star corals. Lots of cleaning stations.
- Snake Bay

- East Point
- A pristine and unspoiled reef at the very East of Curacao. Only to be reached by boat trip, this site is part of our Special Boat Trip to Klein Curacao.
- Barracuda Point
- A favorite Curacao dive, covered in dense coral formations, gorgonians and boulder corals. Turtles are spotted often on this dive site, as well as jacks and barracudas.
- Small Wall
- The name says it all, it is a wall and it is small. Overhangs and little nooks house schools of soldierfish, grunts, and damsels protecting their gardens and eggs.
- Director's Bay
- Perfectly suited for divers and snorkelers. This dive site landmark is an old decaying shark fence now covered in corals and sponges.
- Lost Anchor
- A favorite Curacao Dive Site, bright and colorful. A beautiful lush wall covered with gorgonians and sea fans. Dense coral growth hides an anchor chain that keeps on going forever.
- Jan Thiel
- A typical Curacao diving spot starting at a sandy plateau going down on a sloping reef. The best treat at the end of the dive will be the curious school of squid looking directly into your eyes.
- Sandy's Plateau
- Gorgonians and hard corals, and everything in between. An excellent dive site to spot lobsters under the overhangs and crabs hiding in the large barrel sponges.
- Rolling Stone
- Next to Hole 17 and 5 at Blue Bay Golf Course. These are 2 fun dive sites to search and collect golf balls during your safety stop.
- Saba
- The small tugboat that sits in the shallows is called Saba, and it’s only at 5 meters/15 ft.
- Divers Leap
- At this dive site, you may have the possibility to do a great drift dive, flying while enjoying the reef scene in front of you.
