Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Playa Lagun
Playa Lagun is at the South end of Lagun. It's more of a family beach, but still with world-class diving only a few minutes out. Snorkelling: nice in the bay, with cliffs and rocks overgrown with coral and sponges.
Sometimes there are turtles swimming in the bay.
The drop-off start approx. 150-200 m from the beach, at a depth of 10 m. Slope 45 degrees outward, till a depth of 30 m, afterwards steeper.
Beautiful coral, growing in mushroom shapes, lots of sea-life.
South end of Lagun. Good parking facilities at the beach, from where you can enter the water. Swim out the bay to reach the drop-off (appr. 200 m).
Northwest of Willemstad, travel 12.3 km West on Weg Naar Westpunt from the Weg Naar Hato intersection to San Pedro. Turn left to head toward Soto. Travel 15 km to reach the intersection shown below in the village of Lagun.

Plan to rent your tanks at Discover Divers right there on the beach. Careful, they're closed on Mondays. The young ladies working the shop were really nice to us. They sell cold refreshments there as well. Nice dive site, typical of many of the western beach dives on Curacao. You have to swim some distance over a sandy bottom before you reach hard corals. A very nice dive. If you like a crowd, go on the weekend. For some solitude, try Wednesday or Thursday.
