Lovely dive site on the south coast of Curacao. Very easy water entry with a short swim to the drop off point of the first of a triple reef system. Excellent facilities including restaurant, showers, toilets, rinse tanks and equipment hire. For the non divers this is a beautiful beach on which to sunbathe and snorkel, it even has massage facilities for those who like a little pampering.
There is a small entry fee 2$, but it is well worth it, a great day out for the whole family. The only drawback is that it can get quite crowded in the weekends (and costs 3$ for entry), so try to visit during the week!

Found these two yesterday, at Porto Marie, on the south coast of Curacao. Followed them for five minutes and they stuck together like glue. Must be love!!!

I spent two weeks in Bonaire and Curacao and took countless shots of trunkfish tails. Finally, one decided to look me in the eye and stick around long enough for me to take a picture. Taken with DX-1G
