BOCA SAMI
Curaçao
Boca Sami is located in the St. Michael Bay in central Curaçao. There is a dive center located at the waterfront. The entry into the calm water is easy. It's a dive site for everyone, with a nice drop-off at 12 meters. Unfortunately, Boca Sami's coral reef has been damaged to a large extent. On 25 September 2019, a mobile oil platform destroyed the coral during heavy weather. The ship was forced to temporarily start its engine so as not to hit the coast.
Particulars
Enter the water of Boca Sami in front of the dive school. Use the eastern pier if you want to reduce the distance to the drop-off an make your way to the parts of the reef that are still in good condition. If you're lucky you’ll spot turtles, they are mostly seen on the sandy bottom in front of the dive center. Dolphins have been seen here as well.
Warnings
Boca Sami's coral reef has been severely damaged over an area of 2500 square meters on 25 September 2019. Be aware of recreational boating and commercial shipping. The use of a surface buoy is mandatory on Curaçao.
