This dive site, known as Small Wall, is a beautiful coral reef located opposite Barbara Beach across the channel into Spanish Waters in Curaçao. While the shore entry presents a challenge, the site's rich, fully overgrown coral reef makes it an exceptionally rewarding dive. Divers explore a vibrant wall adorned with abundant purple sea fans and impressive large hard coral formations.
The reef is teeming with diverse marine life, including regular sightings of green and hawksbill turtles. Other common inhabitants are queen angelfish, porcupine fish, moray eels, bar jacks, and barracudas. The abundant purple sea fans and impressive hard coral formations define the underwater landscape.
While no specific 'best time' is mentioned, Curaçao generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round. The moderate depths, with an average of 10 meters and a maximum of 20 meters, make it suitable for divers of various experience levels, although the shore entry demands careful planning. Freedivers will appreciate the vibrant reef and turtle encounters within accessible depths.
