About Tarpon Bridge
Tarpon Bridge is a boat-only dive on Curaçao's exposed east side, built around a natural arch and nearby cavern that reward experienced scuba divers. Operators usually wait for a very calm sea window before heading out, then work the bridge and overhangs rather than a long swim. Hard and soft corals cover the structure, and tarpon are the signature sighting, with occasional nurse sharks and eagle rays. Strong current and surge can shut the site down quickly.
