Dive Spot Guide•
Car Pile 59Jb
Deep shore dive in Curaçao with cars, trucks, a barge, and strong current.
Plan a calm-morning shore entry: the site drops steeply, gets deep quickly, and can feel harder on the return if current or surge picks up.
About Car Pile 59Jb
Car Pile 59Jb is a shore-access artificial reef in Curaçao built from cars, trucks, a barge, and construction debris that step down into deeper water. The site drops fast from the beach and rewards careful depth control, so it suits divers who are comfortable moving slowly through a wreck field. Barracuda, tarpon, lionfish, morays and other reef fish make it more than just a novelty site.
