Curacao Shore Diving Guide and Top 10 Best Shore Dive Sites​

In a sport where you often must charter a boat to see the best of the underwater world, Curacao is a unique shore diving haven for divers looking to take the advantage of a more leisurely schedule. So, if you are looking for an alternative to popular shore diving destinations like Bonaire, then you should consider diving in Curaçao.

According to ShoreDiving.com, Curaçao has thirty-eight dive sites accessible by beach that have an average diver rating of 3.8 out of 5.

“Given the average vacation is seven days, including one day in between diving and flying home, you have six world class shore dives you can hit every single day of your trip… each site is unique and shore diving in Curacao offers no shortage of exploration opportunities.”

Why? Read on to start planning your next Caribbean shore diving adventure in Curacao!

Quick note and disclaimer: This guide is not a comparison to other world class shore diving destinations. It is simply a guide to shore diving our unique and often underrated Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao. Enjoy and we certainly hope you gain more insight why you should consider shore diving in Curacao! PS... I love shore diving in Bonaire too... and I would personally encourage anyone interested to consider diving there and also, of course, Curaçao! Bottom line, dive both - after all it is only a 10 min flight!
