Diving in Curacao

If you want to make a day out of it, Kokomo beach club is a nice option. Situated at the Vaerssen bay and equipped with a restaurant, bar and facilities, you can make a great reef dive from the coast.

One thing not to miss, is a day trip to Klein Curacao. A great place for snorkeling with excellent chances of spotting a sea turtle!
