Ocean Encounters is the largest and most well-known dive centre on Curaçao. Located next to the LionsDive Beach Resort and Sunscape Resort, it offers optimal infrastructure for both beginners and experienced divers. With modern boats, an international team, and its own dive shop, Ocean Encounters is the go-to destination for diving excursions around the island.
General & Offers
The dive centre organises daily boat trips to the best spots on the south and east coasts, including drop-offs, wrecks like the famous “Superior Producer,” and vibrant coral reefs. In addition to guided dives, there are courses ranging from Open Water to Divemaster, try dives, and snorkelling tours. Family-friendliness and service are top priorities, making Ocean Encounters particularly popular.
Diving with Sharks
The waters around Curaçao are known for their biodiversity. In addition to turtles, eagle rays, and large schools of tropical fish, divers may also have the chance to see nurse sharks and Caribbean reef sharks. While encounters are not as frequent as at hotspots like the Bahamas, exciting sightings do occur. Ocean Encounters also takes divers to more remote sites, where the chance of seeing large fish increases.
