Kleine Knip

Kleine Knip is one of those Curaçao shore dives we keep coming back to. The entry is what gets you first: a soft, sandy beach sloping gently into the calm turquoise. It's a real treat, especially if you’re hauling gear. Head out from the beach, and the reef wall quickly drops away, just a short swim out. We love to take our time here, letting our eyes adjust to the soft light filtering through. The hard corals are impressive, building up into huge formations; the labyrinthine Maze Coral is particularly striking. Spend some time looking into the crevices for Drum and Graysby, or peer under ledges for a snoozing Hind. We’ve seen Great Barracuda cruising the reef edge here more than once, just hanging in the blue. Keep an eye out for a Blueman or a Safio, less common sights that always make a dive special. The visibility usually holds up well, making it easy to spot a Molly Miller or a Sammy Johnson darting through the coral. It’s a great spot for an easy, relaxed dive, perfect for photographers or anyone wanting to spend a solid hour just enjoying the underwater scenery.
