Experience a day of perfect diving in Curacao! This time we take you to the southern end of the island to the dive sites Director's Bay and Beacon Point. You can also see what's like to scuba dive on Curacao's west end.

Along with Aruba and Bonaire, Curacao, is an island in the Netherlands Antilles and well known for its wonderful scuba diving. This video takes you to two of Curacao's many beautiful dive sites on the island's southern coast.

The first is Director's Bay, which combines the best of the island's underwater topology in a single-tank dive. Explore shallow reefs, plateaus, and steep walls as well as the area's unique underwater fence, designed to protect beach goers from sharks. Depths here can reach from 15 to around 90 feet thanks to the varying underwater terrain.

During your second dive of the day, take a swim through Beacon Point. Home to the largest group of pillar coral on island, this site is known for its sea horses and other hidden critters, so keep your eyes peeled. The "point" brings in converging currents and a wealth of nutrients and as a result, Beacon Point has an abundance of healthy corals and a huge quantity of fish. There are some amazing drop-offs as well and the depth reaches around 100 feet.

The waters off Curacao's southern coast offer a great environment for corals. The Coral Restoration Foundation Curacao just celebrated its first anniversary and its coral restoration efforts are based out of Ocean Encounters and Lions Dive and Beach Resort's house reef.

Curacao is also home to a newly discovered scorpion fish that was just discovered this past July.
