- This was the very first shore dive we made in Curaçao and it made quite an impression. Overall, many of the shore dives have very easy entries with lots of life in the shallow just a few feet from shore and they only get better on the reefs.
Playa Caracasbaai is almost like three reefs in one with the main reef right in front of the beach, a second reef under the rocky cliffs on the west end and a fairly long finger stretching into the bay on the east end. We also saw quite a bit at night as well…so plan on making a number of dives here to get the full experience!
Notable sightings for us included a viper moray, spotted eagle ray, mosaic sand dollar and cornetfish.
We want to encourage more shore diving, so this video provides some guidance where the site is, how to dive it and what you may see there. If you want to skip to or review specific topics, the section timings are as follows.

Thanks!
Wow, that is very kind of you! We're glad you enjoy the content. :-) Caracasbaai is certainly one of our favorites.
Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks guys! You have a great island. On the whole, we think it provides the best balance across the ABCs. Looking forward to the next couple of months here. :-)
Very well edited loved it
Thank you so much Cherlamie! Were' back in Curaçao for a while, so expect more. :-)
That's an incredibly informative video! Must take a lot of editing especially adding all the arrows and profiles 👍😊
Thanks so much! Indeed, the editing takes a lot of time, but it is worth it to share these terrific dive sites. Shore diving is underrated; so hopefully more people will feel comfortable if they know exactly what to expect. :-)
Many thanks for this excellent overview of shore diving in Curacao! We just returned from a trip there & recognized many of the 'locals' you featured. Your footage is putting my own gopro footage to shame. What do you shoot with?
Very glad you enjoy the videos, Catherine. The Caracasbaai footage was all GoPro Hero 9. GoPro has terrific stabilization and captures color beautifully. That said, I switched to an iPhone in a SeaLife SportDiver housing over the summer so I could get better macro. (Well, ANY decent macro, really.) I also use Kraken Hydra lights. That's the short answer. I've been getting that question quite a bit over the last year and have committed to making a camera set-up video when we are home for the holidays. Keep an eye out for that. :-)
@@TropicLens Thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to that video :)
Great video with lots of valuable information! We're planning on diving there in May. Are wetsuits required for protection? I only ask because we normally dive the Caribbean with rash guards due to the warmer water temperature.
That depends on where you are coming from! :-) If you are from the US or other northern-ish countries, the water will feel warm and you should be fine with a rash guard in May. We have been here since December and we can feel the water getting warmer each week. Let us know how it goes for you. Safe travels!
@@TropicLens thanks for the info! We're coming from the US. I just wanted to know if I needed to pack my 1mil🤣
Try the Dive Bus. They were awesome folks to dive with
Indeed, they were very friendly and a great place to rent tanks across the street from Marie Pampoen.
