Hells Corner Dive Site in Soto Curacao

Hells Corner dive site in Soto Curacao is a wonderful boat diving location between Black Coral Garden and Mako’s Mountain. This site is appropriately named due to the strong current that flows at the nearby point where the original mooring buoy was placed.

The buoy at Hells Corner has been moved west, off the point, to a calmer spot to allow divers to enjoy this amazing steep wall.

Diver Tip: Look for lots of brain corals, tube sponges, mushroom heads, large gorgonians, abundant fish life, schooling jacks, barracuda, sea turtles, lobsters, and spotted and green morays.
