Caracasbaai

Caracasbaai is our pick for a chill, easy dive in Curaçao Southeast. It’s perfect if you’re getting back into the swing of things, or just fancy a long, relaxed bottom time without having to worry about depth. We love the feeling of the warm, shallow water, especially after a deeper morning dive. It's a vibrant spot, even at just 16 metres. You’ll drift over healthy hard corals like great star coral, mixed in with colourful soft corals and sponges. We've often spent a good chunk of a dive here just watching schools of brown chromis darting around, or spotting clever little spinyhead blennies poking out from their coral hidey-holes. Keep an eye out for yellowhead wrasse sifting through the sand, and the occasional hogfish rooting around. The visibility usually sits around 20 metres, so you get clear views of everything. For a really peaceful experience, we'd suggest an early morning entry before the boat traffic picks up. It’s a great spot for snorkelers too, so if you're diving with non-divers, everyone gets to enjoy the same beautiful reef.
