About Playa Daaibooi
Playa Daaibooi is a shore dive in a quiet bay on Curaçao's southwest coast, with a sandy entry and a reef reached by a short swim. The rocky ledge close to shore is good for snorkeling, while the reef farther out rewards slow buoyancy over coral heads, sponges, and fish. It is an easy day out, but you should plan for a surface swim and keep an SMB up because of nearby boat traffic.
