DOUBLE REEF 42
Curaçao
Double reef consists of two reefs, separated by sand. That’s where the name Double Reef comes from. The first reef is located 30 meters from the coast. It consists of anemones, fan, finger and brain corals. At the second reef you will find hard corals, large brain and star corals. The reef is in good condition. Not many people dive here because of the difficult entry, high waves and rocky beach.
Particulars
Double Reef has a lot to offer. Besides coral you will see large schools of fish.
Warnings
Double Reef has a difficult entry, diving shoes are required. Try to ‘ride’ the waves, when leaving the water so you don’t fall on the rocks. Beware of car burglary.
