Free guide from Dive Curaçao helps divers plan year-round shore diving, reef restoration dives and Curaçao–Bonaire combinations
Dive Curaçao has launched the 2027 Curaçao Dive Vacation Guide, a free annual resource for divers and snorkellers planning a trip to the Dutch Caribbean Island in the year ahead. The guide is available now at curacaodivetravelguide.com.
For divers in North America, the UK and Europe, choosing a Caribbean destination often comes down to two worries: the weather and the logistics. Curaçao removes both. The island lies outside the Caribbean hurricane belt and offers diving every day of the year. It is also well connected with direct flights from major hubs in Canada, USA, and Europe.
Why 2027 Is the Year to Dive Curaçao
Curaçao has more than 70 dive and snorkel sites, and most can be reached straight from the shore. Divers can pick up a vehicle, load their kit and choose where to dive each day. No fixed boat schedules, no crowded dive decks.
The 2027 guide answers the questions divers ask most:
- What are conditions like? Water temperatures typically sit around 26–29°C, with visibility often 18–30 metres. A 3mm wetsuit is usually enough.
- Which dive sites should I prioritise? The guide profiles standout dives on the island’s west, central and east coasts, from the coral-covered Tugboat to the Mushroom Forest.
- Is it suitable for newly qualified divers? Yes. Calm, sheltered entries and gentle reef slopes make it an ideal place to build confidence.
- What about non-diving partners? The guide covers beaches, Willemstad’s UNESCO-listed historic centre, food, and the island’s mix of Caribbean and European culture.
- Can I add Bonaire? Yes. It explains how to pair Curaçao with Bonaire, the shore diving capital of the world.
Written by People Who Dive These Reefs Every Day
“Divers often tell us they assumed the Caribbean meant hurricane risk and expensive boat diving,” said Bryan Horne, Founder and Managing Director of Dive Curaçao and Dive Travel Curaçao. “Curaçao is the opposite. It’s year-round, it’s independent, and the reefs are in excellent shape. The guide shows divers exactly how to make the most of it.”
Horne has lived and worked in Curaçao’s dive industry for 20 years. Dive Travel Curaçao partners with trusted resorts, dive centres and conservation organisations across the island. The guide covers dive resorts, boutique dive lodges and Sleep/Drive/Dive packages that combine accommodation, a vehicle and unlimited shore diving.
Diving Responsibly on a Healthy Reef
Curaçao’s reefs are among the healthiest in the Caribbean, helped by active coral restoration work. The 2027 guide explains how visiting divers can join restoration dives during their holiday.
It also covers safe diving over a multi-day trip. Advice includes conservative profiles, sensible surface intervals, staying hydrated, and starting with a guided dive at unfamiliar sites. These habits reduce the risk of decompression sickness and help protect the reef.
