Dive Flag Blue Bay Beach, Curacao

This is in a Gated Community on the west side of Willemstad. I am unaware if you can get here if you are not staying here. There is a charge for beach access but it is very nice , restaurant on site as well as dive shop. The beach is excellent for famiies with small children. shade from lots of Palm trees. The dive entry was very easy, a short swim out past the break water and then go left or right. Almost a wall dive. ... Show More Mar. 8, 2026

Dive Flag Daaibooi, Curacao

This is West of Willemstad. We drove about an hour to get there, nice size parking lot We carried our equipment down to the beach. The dive shop is right there. No nitrox, but easy going shop. There are beach chairs and shade to rent at the beach. Nice sand beach and an easy entry. We swam out a long way and did not find a drop off. You can spend hours cruising around the sand spottind all the different ocean life that likes to use sand and rubble as its home. There is a coral nursery here.... Show More Mar. 8, 2026

Dive Flag Caracas bay, Curacao

This is a short drive South East from the center of Willemstad, just out of the busy area. Lots of parking and a fairly nice beach. The entry was easy. Curious 2 Dive is just across the street and they were easy going and friendly. The beach has picknick tables that are under palapas. They said there was a chance of rays here but I saw none, but it was a nice dive site.... Show More Mar. 8, 2026

Dive Flag Jan Thiel bay, Curacao

This was a short Drive from Bottilier where we were staying, Traffic on the island is always a factor. Parking is available and is free if you tell the gate that you are diving. One of our vehicles had two small children and they charged that vehicle to park. You have to get there before 10 to get parking, our a lounge chair. Super easy entery at the stairs, almost a beach slope. We used this site as our first dive to get our weights and bouyancy figured out and only swam the saand bowl. There was a sailboat and an anchor easly close for something to see. Saw several octopi and other fish.... Show More Jan. 21, 2026
