Dive-site story
Along the southern coastline near Willemstad, classic automobiles, trucks, and industrial machinery were pushed down a sloping drop-off to create this artificial reef. Coral-encrusted chassis and frames tumble down the wall, forming shelter for resident fish and invertebrates. Divers walk in directly from the beach, crossing a sand plateau and hard coral terrace before descending onto the wreckage.
Vehicle frames overgrown with tube sponges and brain corals
Steep reef slope with cars stacked down the incline
Direct shore entry from the beach
Location
