Dive Conditions

Curacao is home to plentiful diving opportunities. This Caribbean island features amazing coral reefs, walls and sunken ships. The island’s dive sites are protected from strong currents, there is little river runoff to hinder visibility and the waters are warm year-round, making this is a great place for those just blowing their first bubbles or learning a new skill. Most of Curacao’s dive sites are accessible from shore, and most resorts have gorgeous house reefs to explore. However, boat diving is the method of choice for dive operators on the island. Mushroom Forest is one of the only dive sites where a boat dive is necessary.

Curacao enjoys consistently good weather year-round. April to June has the calmest weather, while January to March see an occasional winter squall. Trade winds keep the average temperatures between 26-30°C 80-86°F. It may be a bit hotter in the summer and if it rains, it will be from October through February. Curaçao is at the far southern edge of the hurricane belt and is usually unaffected during the Caribbean’s hurricane season.

Curacao’s dry season lasts from about April to November. During these months, the island will be extremely dry and sunny, experiencing consistently calm weather. Sea conditions remain steady throughout the season with sea temperatures at 85°F (29°C) and air temperatures at approximately 89°F (31°C). The dry season is recommended for those who value both beach time and dive time.

The rainy season on Curacao begins in December and lasts until March. These four months will bring a brief daily downpour to the island. You can expect only slightly cooler temperatures both in and out of the water. Air temperatures average 85°F (29°C) and water temperatures drop to 79°F (26°C). The only disadvantage to visiting at this time of year is the increased trade winds which blow from January through April.
