The Superior Producer is a large, well-preserved wreck at a depth of 40 meters. Getting started is problematic. On the one hand it is not allowed to dive when ships have docked, on the other hand there is often strong surf. Entry is therefore rarely possible. You drive the governor van Slobbewegung to the end of a small brook to the sea. In there and fight diagonally to the left (approx. 30 degrees to the […]
The Tugboat is a small boat that is about 5 meters deep and is also very popular with snorkelers. The dive site is next to the Caracasbaai. You pass Fort Beekenburg, then you can already see a huge drilling ship that is firmly anchored there. You can park on the street next to a small bar (not guarded) and change your clothes there. A small diving school (CURious 2 DIVE) is on site. You can […]
Playa Kalki or “Alice in Wonderland” is a very nice destination for a day trip. It goes from the parking lot (unfortunately not too many places available) down a staircase to the shady restaurant and the wonderful sandy beach. On the left is the Go West Diving diving school with a jetty. Diving boats also often leave here. You can of course dive for free from the beach, but it is advisable to get a […]
Playa Grandi is a small fishing port in a beautiful bay. You can park right by the sea, there is a small snack stand and a toilet. The special thing here is that there are almost guaranteed to be turtles in the water (right in the shallower area in front of the reef). They are waiting for fish waste from the boats. The best time is around 8-9 a.m. after the boats come back from […]

Kokomo Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches with a great restaurant. There are plenty of parking spaces and there is a diving school (Trunkdivers) on site. There are several options for diving. On the one hand you can dive right on the reef, both directions are recommended. It goes past a swimming platform and then along a thick rope as a marker (the reef is a good 100 meters away, it takes a […]
Trunkdivers is a full service dive shop.
Boca Sami is at the end of Canoaweg in Sint Michiel. There is a large parking lot. The diving school Dive Wederfoort is also on site (in addition to PADI, NAUI is also possible). Getting started is flat and easy. The shallow area is relatively wide, so you need something to get to greater depths. There are several heavy chains in the water that you can use for orientation. Tankers or drilling platforms may have […]
Snake Bay is located in the village of Sint Michiel on Redaweg by the Waterside Apartments. The entrance is from the street (Redaweg) on the open area between the Waterside Apartments through to the landing stage. Occasionally there is some current, mostly from Sun Reef towards Snake Bay. The reef edge begins soon. To the left in the direction of Sun Reef the reef is rather shallower, to the right it is steep. A nice […]
The Sun Reef is located in front of the village of Sint Michiel. The entrance is a staircase on the premises of the diving school Curacao Divers. You have to check in there and take a bottle. The reef has a beautiful 100 meter wide reef roof with many residents and then drops to 40 meters. An attempt is made to establish corals with a structure on the reef roof (biorock). Now very well overgrown. […]

The Sun Reef is very nice, a diving spot that can only be reached directly from the diving school. With the help of a special procedure (electric current) […]
