Seldom Reef at Bullenbaai
Seldom Reef is located east of Coral Estate Luxury Resort (Rif Sint Marie) and just inside Bullenbaai, north-east of the point where you will find Kaap Sint Marie.
This is a spectacular dive site but seldom ever visited (hence the name) because of the wind direction. It is very deep, with a sheer 90 foot wall, and is one of the best dive sites in Curacao for a true, deep dive – but watch your safety limits.
We highly recommended that you use a boat for this a mind blowing drift dive due to unpredictable currents and wind direction. Additionally you should only consider diving Seldom if you are an intermediate or advanced diver.
So if you are an experienced drift diver craving a site that offers more than the average wall dive, then consider adding this incredible Curacao dive site to your itinerary.
