Op deze pagina staan de favoriete duiklokaties van onze duikers. Al deze hotspots zitten in ons duikprogramma. Playa Largo Level: novice Recommended depth: 60 to 80 feet / 18 to 24 meters Reef description: Playa Largo in the local language means long beach that is why we dive along the wall here. Large amount of French grunts, white grunts and schoolmaster are to be found here. Turtles are commonly seen on this dive, same as spotted morays and barracudas. Large gorgonians will tell us which way the current goes. Not bad for a house reef. Snake bay Level: novice to advanced Recommended depth: 50 to 60 feet/ 15 to 18 meters Mooring depth: 15 feet Reef description: On the snake bay, next to St.Michaels bay, you’ll find the large formations of mound and boulder coral. Boulder star and mustard hill coral are presented to you in a very impressive way. A very healthy reef on which, if there where no fish, the view is just breathtaking. Although the name is snake bay, snakes are not found here, moray eels can be found though. From the tiny gold spotted to the 7 foot green moray. Vaersenbaai Level: novice Recommended depth: 60 to 80 feet / 18 to 24 meters Reef description: As the name tells you, here is the garden you wished you had. A good balance between hard- and soft coral. Large purple tube sponges and barrel sponges are to be seen here. On this dive you have a good change on rainbow runners, Creole wrasses and large porcupine fish. Also here frogfish can be found, so keep your eyes open. Porto Marie Level: novice to advanced Recommended depth: 60 to 80 feet / 18 to 24 meters Mooring depth: 20 feet Reef description: The Valley, the site is also called. The reef start with a sandy plateau at 15 feet, where it drops to 60 feet to the next plateau, the wall comes up again to 40 feet and then drops into the abyss. The outskirts of the reef are beautifully overgrown with a big variety of hard and soft corals. Watch your depth when you cross the canyon on the outer reef and fly. Large school of rainbow runners and bar jack will accompany you during this dive. Hawksbill turtles and Eagle rays are no exception on this dive. Superior Producer Level: advanced Depth: 80 to 110 feet Reef description: The unfortunate ship Superior Producer drove out of the harbor in September 1977, for it to never return back and stayed on Curaçao. She rests upright in 100 feet of water and became a very healthy coral reef. The dive begins with a direct descent to 80 feet, where we start the tour. Big barracuda’s and big French angels, have their habitat on the wreck. Swimming along the backside of the steering hut you’ll see that the ladders are overgrown with cup coral, protected by white grunts and schoolmasters. The cargo space is open and easy to dive through. Lots to discover, but so little time, so ask about our discover nitrox dive, and stretch your dive time to explore the wreck even better. Off the Road Level: advanced Recommended depth: 110 feet Reef description: At 80 feet down below, you’ll find the first old car wrecks, All American Classics. Covered with purple tube sponges and devil’s whip. This site is an artificial reef, but the cars slid down a little further than planned. Well, much more exciting for us. Large moray eels now own these cars, and take good care of them. The only hitchhikers you’ll find here are large schoolmasters and white grunts. Let them take you for a ride. Tug Boat Level: novice Recommended depth: 30 to 60 feet / 10 to 18 meters Reef description: Seen in all the brochures and dive magazine, is this little wreck. This is a good spot for diving and snorkeling. The dive is along a vertical wall, where morays of all colours look at you. Large amount of common sea fans and devil’s whip decorate the wall. Larger hawksbill turtles are commonly seen here. Your safety stop will not be boring at all. Not hanging on a line, but swimming with large parrotfish and yellow tail snappers. Do not be afraid of the encounter, they tend to come close. Director’s Bay Level: novice Recommended depth: 60 to 80 feet / 18 to 24 meters Reef description: The boat is tightened to the old frame of shark nets. Just below the surface your dive starts along the steep wall. Like most dives in the Underwater Park, the wall is covered with soft coral. When you are on your way back, visit the old frames, which are down there. Here is your chance to finally see the seahorses you been looking for. Right under the boat you can find long snout seahorses and even frogfish can be found here. Take it slow, or else you’ll swim by nature’s beauty without even notice it.
