MUSHROOM FOREST
Curaçao
Mushroom Forest is one of the most famous dive sites on Curaçao. Over time, the hard coral formations of this dive site have developed in the form of mushrooms. Underneath each of these beautiful coral formations, an abundance of marine life awaits you to see, admire and photograph.
Particulars
Mushroom Forest is best reached by boat. You can also dive from the shore, but as a shore dive, Mushroom Forest is very inaccessible. Be surprised by the unique mushroom-shaped corals at this special dive site. A dive at Mushroom Forest usually ended with a visit to the Blue Room.
