Boat-only Eastpoint arch dive with tarpon and a cavern
Boat-only Eastpoint arch dive with tarpon and a cavern
The site is boat-only and condition-sensitive, so a local dive operator is the normal way to access it safely.
Tarpon Bridge is a boat-accessed Eastpoint dive on Curaçao's exposed southeast tip. The site combines a coral-covered natural arch, a nearby cavern, and open-water reef structure that attracts tarpon, turtles, and occasional nurse sharks. It is a condition-sensitive dive that operators usually run only on very calm sea days, with current and surge shaping the plan more than the calendar.
