About this dive site

This dive site is the North Point of Klein Curaçao, renowned for its challenging drift diving experience. It requires careful attention to current speed and direction, making it suitable primarily for advanced divers with excellent buoyancy control and dive planning. Topside support is essential for safety, especially given the unpredictable nature of currents around the corner. While no specific historical details are provided, the site's topography as a point exposed to open ocean currents dictates its unique diving conditions.

The marine life here is vibrant, especially the larger pelagic species attracted to the currents. Divers frequently encounter large green moray eels, as well as green and hawksbill sea turtles. The strong currents act as a magnet for schooling fish, with barracuda and jacks commonly observed patrolling the reef.

While no specific best time to visit is mentioned, conditions are typically optimal when currents are predictable or manageable for experienced divers. Divers should always consult local dive operators for the most up-to-date conditions. Due to the strong currents and advanced nature, this site is not recommended for freedivers or snorkelers; it is exclusively for experienced scuba divers prepared for a dynamic drift.
