Dive-site story
Situated along the dramatic southeastern coastline of Curaçao, Lost Anchor is renowned for a massive encrusted chain stretching down an expansive reef slope. Divers follow the historical chain over lush coral terraces toward a large anchor resting on the deeper drop-off. The wall features pristine hard and soft corals, with enormous sea fans and sponges taking advantage of the regular coastal water movement.
Extensive historic anchor chain draping down the vertical drop-off
Dense concentrations of deep-water gorgonians, black coral, and orange tube sponges
Frequent flybys from pelagic species and sea turtles along the outer wall
