Scuba Diving Mushroom Forest & Snorkeling the Blue Room Curaçao | Ocean Encounters Curacao
Mushroom Forest - Curacao Travel Vlog by Dive Curaçao
One of the most famous dive sites in Curaçao. Over time, hard coral formations have grown in such a way that they resemble mushrooms, hence the name. Underneath each one of these coral formations an abundance of marine life awaits to be looked at, admired, and photographed.
Mushroom Forest can be disorienting and throw you off, so a compass can come in very handy. High cliffs that rise out of the water protect the area, making it an ideal spot for intermediate divers who are not yet experienced enough to handle really rough currents, as well as beginners who are gaining more experience.
Along the cliff side is a large cave called The Blue Room, where you will often spot schools of fingerlings, and from time-to-time a nurse shark can be found sleeping under the ledge.
Visibility averages 26m (85 ft), wave action is calm and sometimes the current can be strong; the depth is from 12m (40 ft) to 18m (60 ft). Numerous species of fish and coral can be observed here; flower corals, giant brain corals, anemones, sea turtles, porcupine fish, smooth trunk fish, yellow tail snappers, parrot fish, groupers, spotted drums, spotted moray eels, green moray eels, lobsters, and conchs.

Mushroom Forest & Blue Room in Curacao.
A morning dive to the Mushroom Forest and the Blue Room. We were lucky to spot squid on the dive, a rare find! It's important to protect our marine world so that we can preserve our underwater treasures. Thank you to Moby for providing authorization to use the song Snow Ball.

The Blue Room Water Cave in Curacao
The Blue Room Water Cave in Curacao. You can hike or take a boat to this amazing romantic water cave. We hiked to The Blue Room. Ask for directions because is it not marked and bring lots of water to drink.They call it the blue room because of the color once inside. It was scary for me because I was not sure what to expect once I swam down and in. Thank goodness there was plenty of room to breath. You can get out of the water and sit on the rocks inside. I almost did not go into the cave. I am grateful I did it.

Diving at Caracasbaai Curaçao 1-08-2015
Duiken tussen de rommel in voormalige haven van Curaçao. Vroeger kwamen hier de cruiseschepen en de grote vrachtschepen voordat de huidige Mega pier bij Willemstad was gerealiseerd.
Er ligt veel restafval zoals metaal, kabels, buizen, platen metaal, flessen, glazen potjes, buizen, kettingen, ankers en alles wat in de jaren verloren is gegaan of over boord is gevallen.
