Diving Curacao
Curaçao has much to offer for divers, especially beginners, and among divers, is very similar to her more well known sister island, Bonaire. The best dive sites are located to the west of the island, and forty out of the islands sixty sites are located not far from shore and are therefore easily accessible. Curacao offers both boat and shore diving. One of the islands best dive sites is the wreck of the Superior Producer, a seventy-­‐metre long boat that has been resting on the seafloor for the past thirty years. At the island´s extreme west end, this shallow coral garden gives way to a drop-­‐off shingled in plate corals. The site is populated by the ususal reef denizens plus larger gamefish in pursuit of baitfish. In 1977, the 200 ft SPhad just set sail for Columbia when her cargo shifted, and she took on water and sank. Situated upright, between 20 and 40m, you´ll find three decades´ of sponges and coral growth, as well as loads of fish. Currents can be strong on this dive. Shore Diving
Divers could easily check off many boxes on their wish lists with a single trip to Curacao. Calm conditions? Check. Good visibility? Check. Healthy reefs? Check. Macro life? Check. Unlimited shore diving? Well, let's just put it this way, the entire island is a shore diver's dream. Curacao has more than 60 identified dive sites accessible from the shore. Wreck, reef and deep diving are all available along the reefs and walls that encircle the island. It really couldn't be easier. We set you up with everything you need; pickup truck, full dive tanks, dive site maps, and you’re off. The dive sites are marked along the road, so all you need to do is park, kit up and get in the water! The dive sites are not far from the resort, so after two dives just pop back to the centre for more full tanks and you're off again. "Diving Freedom" is the easiest way to sum up this fantastic island. Come and try for yourself! Lions Dive Resort
