Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Pestbaai

Due West of Willemstad, travel 6.7 km West on Weg Naar Bullenbaai (about 1.9 km West of the Vaersen Bay turn off). Follow the landmarks below.

Pestbaai, also known as Lovers Leap, is perfect for divers who enjoy rappelling! The 'parking' area is on top of a 30 - 40 foot cliff which you need to climb down to get to the strip of sand below. The actual entry into the water is very easy - once you've navigated the cliff in full scuba gear. The reef is a short swim out and usually flat calm with minimum current. There's plenty to see on this 'typical' Curacao dive site, but there's been a lot of trash dumped on part of the reef - large, flat boards - which is a terrible shame. After the dive, you'll need to climb back up the cliff… It's a pretty dive site but having checked out the shore entry ourselves, we chose to dive it from a boat instead. If you're looking for a lovely, easy shore dive site, there are many better choices. Suzy (at) the-dive-bus (dot com)
