Boat Diving at Smokeys Dive Site in Curaçao
Why is Smokeys so special? It’s only accessible by boat, making it one of the most undisturbed and spectacular dive sites on the island. Thanks to limited human impact, the marine life and reef systems here are in immaculate condition, offering large, dense coral overhangs, sharp drop-offs, and crystal-clear visibility that transforms every dive into a 360-degree underwater adventure.

But get ready — Smokeys isn’t your average dive! This site is often experienced as a thrilling drift dive, where you’ll literally “fly” eastward with the current, finishing in breathtaking style at Kathy’s Paradise. The currents, coral structures, and biodiversity create a mind-blowing dive experience that will leave you surfacing in awe and wanting more!

🌐 Located Within the Curaçao Marine Park
Smokeys is part of the Curaçao Marine Park (    • Curacao Marine Park - National Marine Park...   ), an officially designated protected area that spans a section of the southern coastline of Curaçao. This marine park plays a vital role in preserving the health & biodiversity of the island's reefs. Because of the marine park protections & responsible dive practices, sites like Smokeys offer some of the most pristine & undisturbed reef environments in the Caribbean.

🐡 Fun Fact: How Did Smokeys and Kathy’s Paradise Get Their Names?
These iconic dive sites were named by Chris Richards, a charismatic dive professional who once led the scuba diving operations for Peter Hughes Diving at a company then called Underwater Curaçao (now Ocean Encounters). Chris named over 70% of the dive sites around Curaçao — and here’s what he had to say:

Kathy’s Paradise: “A diver named Kathy was on one of our first trips to the nameless site. As an avid underwater photographer, she was crazy about it. When she asked the name for her logbook…I said…you tell me?”
