The Superior Producer is one of Curaçao’s most popular dive sites, and one of the Caribbean’s top wrecks. Dive in for a look at the history of this iconic shipwreck, and how it came to meet its untimely end. It sits quietly upright on her keel, with her bow facing west in roughly 30m of water and about 150m from the shoreline just in front of the new Curaçao Mega-piers. As you descend the fringing reef, an eerie dark shadow starts to appear. Now with roughly a half of a century of growth, the MV Superior Producer is an amazing artificial reef site home to numerous colonies and different species of corals.
Diving the Superior Producer is NOT possible at Mega-Pier 1 and 2, when cruise ships are moored up there. Check this link before arranging a dive at the Superior Producer: hms.curports.com/webx/dashb.a...
Marie Pampoen is a calm, easy shore dive where you enter the water from a small harbor. 20-30 meters out from the harbor you will find an interesting artificial reef made from dumped cars, cranes, and more scraps. Sometimes large tarpon hang around here. You’ll see typical Caribbean life like hard and soft corals, snapper, angelfish, grunts, parrot fish, and eels. Also the coral outplant from Reef Renewal Curaçao project. Marie Pampoen, is a small sandy local beach with lots of fishing boats and lots of character. It is one of the best dive and snorkel sites on Curacao. Easy entry, huge variety of corals, sponges and lots of marine life. A huge, beautiful, lively, healthy reef filled with lots of macro and huge variety of corals and marine life. Excellent night dive spot also.
Through the Reef Renewal Foundation Curaçao thousands of corals are produced through fragmentation techniques in nurseries on Curaçao, and strategically outplanted to local degraded reefs to promote new growth and habitat.
