- Playa Piskadó is easily one of our favorite west side dive sites. There are schools of silversides, scads, white mullets and palometa as well as pods of squid and regular turtles that joyfully play with divers and snorkelers…and that’s just in the shallows!
We also saw black margate, octopus and a shameface heart crab, which was first time capture for us. There is a statute of Neptune looking out over the expansive reef that drops down to more than 100 feet and a terrific ecosystem under the cliffs to the right.
This is a fantastic location that is serviced by food vendors, showers, bathrooms and watersport rentals. If you have a car, definitely consider a drive to the west side and make Playa Piskadó a day trip.
We want to encourage more shore diving, so this video provides some guidance where the site is, how to dive it and what you may see there. If you want to skip to or review specific topics, the section timings are as follows.

We dove piskado beach today. It was super helpful to have watched your video. Thank you and keep up the good work. Smiley face
Thank you Maaike! We are looking forward to revisiting Curaçao next year. (I am particularly excited to make a Superior Producer video.) :-)
@TropicLens we did the superior producer with a dive guide. Definitely worth it. With your amazing camera skills, it will be an epic video. Smiley face
Love your videos!
Thank you!
The “whatever these things are” are called Seabobs. We were at that exact spot and had a guide that supplied the Seabobs. We didn’t dive but I will if I ever go back there.😊😊
Thanks!
I love your videos! Heading back to Curacao in April. It's SO beautiful above and below the water.
Thanks Kathleen.

These are amazing videos. I love how you name everything at the end. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Wendie. Glad you are enjoying them. :-)
Dove this site many times. Reef is really good and best between 40-55'. However, this area gets very crowded now with tour buses that bring folks to see the turtles. So, be aware if you find it hard to find a parking spot coming later.
Hi John -
Leslie here. You are so right about the tour buses and crowds. The key is to arrive before 9:00 am. The turtles are there, but the crowds are not.
This is my personal favorite dive in Curacao. You are guaranteed to see something good on every dive.
