Blue Bay the Wall

Blue Bay the Wall, now this is a spot we keep coming back to when we’re in Curaçao. Forget the swim out the bay that takes a good fifteen minutes, that’s just a warm-up. The pay-off is a solid, classic Caribbean wall dive. We love dropping down and following the contours, the wall itself drops deeper than our recreational limits, but we stick to the top 20 meters, soaking in the details. The top of the reef is busy, especially with French grunts milling about, but it’s the wall itself where we find our favourites. Look closely for the Spotted Soapfish, they often blend in against the darker coral. We often spot Hawksbill turtles here, usually munching on sponges, completely unfazed by divers. Our pick for an insider tip: keep an eye out for the elusive Atlantic Yellow Cowrie tucked into crevices. The visibility averages around 21 meters, which gives you plenty of scope to appreciate the scale. This site is perfect for divers who appreciate a good, honest wall dive with reliable marine life, rather than chasing pelagics.
