Dive-site story
Located off one of Curaçao's wide sandy beaches on the southwest coast, Cas Abou features a gently sloping sandy bottom that transitions into a healthy drop-off. The reef structure showcases large brain coral heads, barrel sponges, and seafans scattered across the slope. Divers can enter directly from the white sand shore, swimming out over the shallow flats before descending along the reef wall.
Gradual drop-off with towering hard coral formations and large gorgonians
Easy shore entry from a protected sandy beach with onsite facilities
Frequent encounters with spotted eagle rays gliding along the reef edge
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving is accessible year-round due to the sheltered southwestern orientation, though wind and rain increase slightly late in the year.
