Superior Producer
Superior Producer is considered one of the most popular places for Scuba Diving in Curacao. If you are an advanced diver who loves wrecks, then this is an absolute must-do on your trip to Curacao. It is located at a depth of 100 feet (30m). The 200-foot cargo ship sank in 1977 and is now a stunning artificial reef that attracts marine life from the deep sea. Divers can penetrate the cargo holds and swim about the wreck's interior. The wheelhouse, which is 80 feet deep, is one of the highlights. At first, only the stern is visible, but gradually the full majestic 50m (165ft) bulk, with its superstructure rising to within 21m (72ft) of the surface, is revealed, coated in a gigantic kaleidoscope of color.
Since the wreck has been laying on the beach for over fifty years, a microcosm of reef life has formed on top of it. Invertebrates and reef fish have been drawn to the anemones and orange cup sponges, and ghostly shadows of barracudas may be seen loitering about the wreck itself.
