Klein Curaçao

Located 11 km/7 miles east of Curaçao, Klein Curaçao offers a rewarding dive experience. While diving at Klein Curaçao, many divers choose to embark on a day trip or combine it with a dive at East Point due to its distance. Weather conditions typically restrict diving to the north-east and south-west parts of the island.

Divers exploring Klein Curaçao can frequently encounter large green moray eels, as well as green and hawksbill sea turtles. The currents often present opportunities to observe barracuda and jacks.

On the north-east side of the island, divers can explore a cavern at a depth of 30m/100ft. Drifting along the wall, which is typically accompanied by a current, leads to the protected east side of the island. Although the shallow part of the north side is adorned with purple sea fans, diving may not always be possible due to strong currents, waves, and surge. Similarly, the east side is often inaccessible due to prevailing winds and high waves originating from the open sea. However, the incredible currents carrying fresh, plankton-filled water attract abundant schools of fish, including Tuna, Mackerels, and Jacks. Diving from the south-west part of the island often rewards divers with sightings of turtles and green moray swimming along the steep reef wall, occasionally interrupted by sand channels.

With a maximum depth of 20m and visibility reaching 26m, Klein Curaçao ensures divers of various levels, from beginners to advanced, can enjoy its underwater wonders. Situated in the Netherlands, Klein Curaçao is in close proximity to Klein Curacao Lighthouse in Curacao, Netherlands. Whether you seek adventure or tranquility, Klein Curaçao promises a memorable dive experience.
