About Vaersenbaai (Kokomo)
Vaersenbaai (Kokomo) is an easy shore-access beach dive with parking, a floating dock, and beach-club support. The shallow reef starts close to shore and then drops away into a deeper wreck zone with cars and other artificial-reef pieces, so the site works best as a controlled swim from the beach rather than a casual open-water drift. The shallow water suits snorkeling and relaxed reef time, but the deeper wreck section demands buoyancy control, depth awareness, and a plan for boat traffic.

Local Intel For Vaersenbaai (Kokomo)
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The main attraction is a collection of submerged cars; a buoy line can be used to descend to the site. The depth drops off quickly, so buoyancy control and depth monitoring are important.
Freediving
Only the shallow reef edge is realistic for breath-hold diving; the wrecks are too deep for normal freediving.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best near the beach and floating dock; the deeper car pile is a scuba target.
