Curacao

Curaçao is a Caribbean island and country that’s part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It’s known for its beaches, historic sites, rugged landscapes and diving in some of the most pristine waters of the Caribbean. A small island, approximately 300 square miles, Curacao is near Bonaire and Aruba just 40 miles north of Venezuela. (Curacao is also known for Curacao Liquer made from the dried peel of the laraha bitter orange, a citrus fruit grown on Curaçao.) 

Curacao lies below the hurricane belt and is world renowned for some of the best diving in the Caribbean. The unique position of the island creates an ideal environment for marine life to thrive.

Curacao is the largest of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao) and is home to some of the most bio-diverse reefs in the Caribbean. The sheltered southern coast is rich in coral, and suitable for divers of all levels, with little in the way of adverse conditions at any of the popular dive sites. Divers never seem to be able to stop talking about the beauty of scuba diving Curacao!
