Snorkel and Dive Curacao

Congratulations The Suit Curaçao Ocean Team for not only creating more awareness about the importance of protecting our beautiful fringing reef systems in Curacao – but also showing how easy it is for everyone to access and enjoy a snorkel or diving experience here in the heart of the Dutch Caribbean.

We would highly recommend a visit to the Curacao Sea Aquarium where you can listen to the full presentation and then watch this Non Profit 30min film: CURAÇAO UNDERWATER KUNUKU.

This beautiful short film is about a 100 (one hundred) kilometer coastal snorkel trip in Curacao, venturing out from the “Eastpoint” of the island along the Southern coastline to end at the Northwestern most tip of the island known as Watamula.

The film showcases the interaction between man and nature, highlighting the beauty of underwater life while promoting conservation, preservation and the need to protect these vital habitats. These are the key ingredients to this beautiful film: CURACAO UNDERWATER KUNUKU.

This film is also available in multiple languages including: Spanish, Papiamentu, Dutch, Portuguese and German

Amazing Curacao Snorkeling Experiences

While snorkeling in Curacao it will not unusual to see large bait balls, schools of colorful parrotfish, tangs, Sargent Majors and of course sea turtles, to name a few – and you will of course be guaranteed to see unique coral formations like brain coral and giant sea fans.

Palagics are not a guarantee on any snorkel or dive trip but you might be just lucky enough to encounter rarer marine species such as stingrays, eagle rays, or even a giant manta ray!

If snorkeling around shipwrecks, such as the famous Tugboat, is more your speed – no worries! Curaçao has a few wonderful wrecks to discover that lie on white sandy plateaus. Here you might see scurrying crabs, branching corals and colorful sponges plus possible schools of garden eels sticking their heads out the sand.

Whatever you may be looking for, generally you will find it all under the water in Curaçao.
