About Scooter or Dwains Release
Scooter or Dwains Release is a West Curaçao boat dive with a shallow reef top, a wallier drop, and plenty of hard-and-soft-coral texture. The site is known for seahorses, slender filefish, turtles, and rays, and it can pick up enough current to become a relaxed drift on some days. It is best approached as a guided boat dive rather than a casual shore stop, because the profile and conditions change with the sea. When the water is calm, the shallow end still has enough life to make the safety stop part of the dive.

Safety Notes
Treat the site as a guided boat dive and watch the current if it starts to build into a drift. Keep buoyancy tight on the wallier sections and do not rush the shallow top when the sea is moving.
Access Restrictions
Boat access is the normal way to dive the site, so plan it through a local operator instead of treating it like a quick shore hop.
