North Point is an exposed boat-only drift dive.
Local divemasters are strongly recommended on this exposed drift corner.
North Point of Klein Curacao is the island's exposed north-corner drift dive, where the reef wraps around a hard bend and current can build quickly. It is a boat-only site best done with topside support and a calm team that can read the flow before the turn. Coral slopes, ledges, and schooling fish make it a current-first dive rather than a relaxed reef cruise.
