Curaçao

Unspoiled beaches abound with locations for every level of diver and snorkeler. The spectacular “Underwater Park” includes miles of aquatic scenery and diverse marine life. The capital city of Willemstad represents a colorful and delightful array of Dutch history, with a distinct Caribbean flair.

Car Pile starts getting interesting at around 80-100ft / 25-30m so it's for Advanced or experienced divers only. Head back along Pierbaai Reef on the return leg.

The barge carrying these vehicles was sunk as an artificial reef in 1973 and the 1950's cars and trucks have become totally integrated into the reef by now. There's lots of marine life. Look out for moral eels swimming through car headlamps, and check out your reflection in the chrome bumper 



Car Pile is also known as Pierbaai.

This is a great reef dive, also a great second dive. Not very deep, so it is accessible for almost any diver.

Relatively easy to find, most dive shops on the island know where it is.

(I do not remember the exact location of this site, I have placed an approximate. If someone knows exactly where it is, please let me know to update. Thank you)

The wreck of the Superior Producer has been gathering coral since 1977,  in about 25-35 meters (80-110 feet) of depth.  It's a worthwhile and relatively easy wreck dive, when the conditions are right.

Found on the coastal highway of Pater Euwensweg in Otrobanda, just 1.1 km West of the inlet to the harbor area of Willemstad.

Parking is at the Holiday Beach Hotel. If it is not too choppy it is easy to enter the water from shore (off the concrete jetty). Boats go there quit often also.

If you choose to park abeam the wreck buoy on the Mega Pier, leave someone watching your car. We had our cars broken into twice in a year at this site.

Superior Producer is also known as Location Mega Pier.
