Bonaire vs Curaçao? 🤿 It's the question we hear most from divers planning a Dutch Caribbean trip.

Our new Bonaire vs Curaçao guide compares the two side by side: shore vs. boat diving, reefs and wrecks, beginner, non-diver activities, and how to dive both in one trip.

We live in Curaçao and plan dive vacations to both islands, so you get an honest answer, not a sales pitch.

Today, on September 30, 2026, is the 49th Anniversary of Curaçao's MV Superior Producer!

Nearly a half a century ago now, this Willemstad freighter sank in three hours and became one of the most celebrated shipwrecks in the Caribbean. Now, almost five decades later, she's a thriving artificial reef — coral, sponges, and schools of fish covering a wreck divers travel the world to see.

The countdown to her golden anniversary is on. Whether you're planning to mark the milestone with a dive on the wreck herself or just want to know the full story before the big day, now's the time to read it: https://www.divecuracao.info/curacao-diving-news/mv-superior-producer-shipwreck-history/

📸🫧 Ever surfaced from a dive and thought, "My photos didn't do that justice"? Our new guide to underwater photography in Curaçao is here 👇
https://www.divecuracao.info/scuba-diving-in-curacao/underwater-photography-curacao/

In Curaçao, the reef does half the work for you. You get 60–100 ft visibility, warm water year-round, and bright, shallow reefs!

A few quick tips:
🐴 Go small: frogfish, seahorses and nudibranchs reward slow, patient diving.
🌅 Chase the light: time shore dives for soft morning or late-afternoon sun.
🌙 Dive after dark: add a blue light and yellow filter, and the corals glow.
🪸 Protect your subject: good buoyancy, no touching, no chasing.

No pro rig needed. An action camera can bring home memories you'll treasure for years.
