It might not come as a surprise that here at Ocean Encounters, we love to go diving. We’re a diving company in Curaçao. That’s what we do. But, we love to take as many people as possible out diving too. We don’t need a reason to go diving, we need a reason NOT to go.

Not because we couldn’t think of anything else to add but because there are SO MANY reasons to go diving and we had to contain ourselves. You can dive in tropical waters all over the world.

The Best Snorkeling Spots In Curaçao

Curaçao, a favorite holiday destination among many Dutch, is an exotic island in the southern Caribbean Sea. The temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, the coziness, bays with pearly white beaches, the varied landscape and the underwater world ensure that the largest island of the former Netherlands Antilles is very popular.

There are more than 60 locations where you can dive and snorkel. The crystal clear water ensures that you have a view of more than 30 meters. The water temperature is around 27 degrees Celsius all year round. The usually weak currents and calm waves allow you to enjoy the marine life and from the beach you can reach most snorkeling locations.

Top 5 Reasons to visit Curaçao | Feel it for Yourself

Many refer to the group of islands off the coast of Venezuela - Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao - as the "ABC Islands". But often, Aruba and Bonaire eclipse the "C", Curaçao. No one is sure how this curious island got its name, but one theory is that it comes from the Portuguese word that means "heart", since the island was the center of commerce in the seventeenth century. Although the name has remained, Portuguese is only one of the languages that you will hear on the island of Curacao: Papiamento, Dutch, English and Spanish are the others.
