SANDY'S PLATEAU
Curaçao
Sandy's Plateau is a large shallow plateau north of the Jan Thiel Bay. The plateau has a slowly sloping sandy bottom with beautiful coral formations in all shapes and sizes. The drop off lies at 10 meters and is densely overgrown. During a dive along the reef you will encounter many lobsters, crabs and moray eels. At a depth of 40 meters the reef turns into a sandy bottom.
Particulars
Sandy's Plateau is accessible by boat, but you can also reach it from the Jan Thiel Bay. Swim on the surface to save air for your dive. At the Jan Thiel Bay is a diving school located that can drop you off at Sandy's Plateau by boat.
Warnings
When you reach Sandy's Plateau from shore, you'll have to swim against the current back to the entry point. The use of a buoy is mandatory.
