Boca Simon

Boca Simon is a shallow coastal dive site near Willemstad, Sint Michiel, and Nieuwpoort on the island of Curaçao. The site sits in calm Caribbean conditions with typically clear visibility and warm water. Divers generally approach from the shore or a short boat ride, entering over gentle sloping bottom. The underwater terrain features sandy patches with scattered coral formations and small sponges, providing a relaxed environment suitable for beginners and for practice dives. Expect common Caribbean reef life such as damselfish, parrotfish, wrasses, and rays in the area, with occasional larger pelagic sightings further offshore. The site is part of Curaçao’s accessible reef network and is commonly included in local dive itineraries. While not a deep or technically demanding site, Boca Simon offers pleasant, straightforward underwater snorkeling-and-plunge experiences in calm sea conditions.
