Tugboat, Beach with sunken tugboat in Caracas Bay, Curaçao.
A small rocky shoreline provides access to clear waters where a sunken tugboat rests at 15 feet depth, surrounded by coral formations and tropical fish.
The tugboat has remained underwater for over three decades, transforming into an artificial reef that supports diverse marine ecosystems in Caracas Bay.
Local diving instructors share knowledge about marine conservation while guiding visitors through the underwater site, which represents Curaçao's maritime heritage.
Visitors can rent snorkeling equipment at the beach shop and access the site via wooden stairs, with the best visibility occurring during morning hours.
The wreck sits near an industrial port where large vessels dock, creating an unexpected contrast between active maritime operations and underwater exploration.
