Baya_20081122_008._kleinBaya is one of my most favorite dive sites in Curaçao. This site had a lot to offer. There is of course the wreck of the Tugboat in shallow water, even accessible for snorklers; there is the steep wall and there is the pier. I normally end each dive at this location under the pier. It is is very close to the beach, so you can use almost all your air here, and I never can get enough of the beauty of all the sponges and corals on the underwater structure. Diving under the pier is like walking through a forrest. It is a bit mysterious. Your buouncy control needs to be perfect because not only are there vertical structures but there are also horizontal ones and even sharp objects pointing downward. So be careful. But it is a rewarding experience.

 

There is always a lot of fish here. Currently there are also a lot of beach chairs there because of the recent storm Omar. The dive shop lost almost all its beach furniture during that storm and a lot of it can be found under the pier.

To give you an impression of a dive here I made a video during my dive on November 22, 2008.
