Special Diving

Curaçao is ranked among the best islands for diving in the Caribbean, especially for new divers.
The arid climate, deep water close to the shore, distance from major sediment sources such as rivers, and painstaking reef conservation ensure that underwater Curaçao’s pristine coral reefs remain home to a dazzling array of plant and animal life. Whether you are an experienced certified diver, a beginner or a snorkeler, the wide range of sites, balmy water temperatures and excellent visibility (averaging about 100ft) provide an extraordinary experience for everyone.
Boat diving with a recommended dive operator is the most comfortable way to dive in Curaçao, and for beginners with their Open Water Certificate, this option gives the greatest feeling of security. Many experienced divers prefer to head out and explore the numerous shore diving sites with their buddies. Most shore diving sites are easily accessible: with a good map of the island and a rental car, visitors can reach almost all sites in less than half an hour.
