Oswaldo’s Drop Off
Oswaldo’s Drop Off is named after the local diver who first frequented it many years ago. An easy and pretty site, this is the house reef of the Sunscape Curaçao Resort & Ocean Encounters Diving Curaçao.
Shore diving access is limited for guests only. If you’re not a hotel guest, shore dive the other end of the reef, accessible from Pierbaai, the local beach in Marie Pampoen.
