Open Water Dolphin Dive

The Open Water Dolphin Dive in Curacao is a once in a lifetime experience, brought to you exclusively by Ocean Encounters and the Curacao Dolphin Academy.

Diving with Dolphins in Curacao

It is an essential and unique experience!

This interactive experience with dolphins at Shipwreck Point, an amazing fringing reef system outside of the Curaçao Sea Aquarium, allows you to immerse yourself in a dolphins’ world to observe their natural playful behavior.

What makes this experience so incredibly unique is the dolphins will dictate their own level of engagement with you and they are free to decide how they want to as well!

Whether it’s chasing and catching fish on the reef, or interacting face-to-face with you, they will be calling the shots!

Space is limited for this exclusive experience – sign up today.

Scuba dive with dolphins without a dive certification!

Get up close and personal with the dolphins in their world. As you scuba dive in the lagoon, the dolphins will meet you face-to-face so you can gently touch and study the body and behavior of these remarkable mammals. You can’t get any closer than this! And no dive certification required!

This unique experience is offered in partnership with the Curacao Dolphin Academy and the Curaçao Sea Aquarium.  Non-certified divers will be required to enroll in the PADI or SSI Discover Scuba Diving Experience prior to the program. LEARN MORE TODAY!
