## Key Snorkeling & Diving Sites

### Tugboat Wreck
Curacao's #1 snorkeling site. A sunken tugboat resting at just 5 meters depth, surrounded by vibrant coral, tropical fish, and frequent sea turtle sightings. Accessible for all skill levels, including beginners and children. Located on the west coast, only reachable by boat.

### Blue Room Sea Cave
A hidden sea cave where sunlight enters through an underwater opening, creating an ethereal blue glow. The blue light effect is most vivid at midday. Only accessible by boat — Seafari Adventures is one of few operators that visits this site. Swimming into the cave is an unforgettable experience.

### Sea Turtle Habitats
Green turtles and hawksbill turtles are commonly spotted along Curacao's west coast. Sightings are year-round, with feeding areas near Playa Piskado and other sheltered coves. Curacao is one of the best places in the Caribbean to swim with wild sea turtles.

### Klein Curacao
An uninhabited island 15 miles southeast of Curacao with pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear water (30+ meter visibility), and a historic 19th-century lighthouse. One of the Caribbean's last unspoiled islands.
