Curacao Netherland Antilles Scuba Diving & Snorkeling

An ideal holiday spot for divers
Curacao was born millions of years ago, developing under the sea from lava rock on which coral has grown for centuries. For millions of years reefs have surrounded the island, attaching to the shore like a narrow fringe. In some places they are like beautiful gardens, with delicate corals and are home to brightly coloured tropical fish. In others, massive coral formations extend into depths with deep-water fish patrolling the plunging walls.

 It is no wonder that diving is one of the most popular sports on Curacao.

Breezes Curacao Resort Spa & Casino

At Breezes Curacao Resort Spa & Casino one shore dive per day is included in an underwater park, adjacent to the resort. Additional shore dives, boat dives, night dives and certification courses are available at an extra charge. We will happily provide all necessary Scuba gear, but you're free to bring your own equipment. In front of Breezes Curacao Resort Spa & Casino, at about 85 feet, is a famous dive site called the Car Pile, where cars, trucks, and earth moving equipment were placed to create an added dimension to the reef area and special hiding places for sea life. This is a perfect site for a night dive, although a first visit during the day is advised, so you know what to expect. Due to the reef proximity to shore, the variety of sea life and display of landscapes makes diving in Curacao a special experience. Expect balmy Water, between 24C and 27C (75F and 81F); excellent visibility (100ft) and the presence of a mild current
