Best for advanced divers, 20-40m, boat entry, strong current.
Tarpon Bridge is a deep-water site off the south coast of Curacao, featuring a combination of reef, cave systems, and a drop-off. The site ranges from 20 to 40 metres in depth, with visibility typically between 10 and 30 metres. Divers must navigate an overhead environment while managing strong currents, making this an advanced dive. Due to the depth and potential for significant current shifts, streamlined gear and a current hook are recommended. Access is by boat only, and divers should confirm conditions locally before entry. Avoid contact with sharp coral and rock formations while exploring the reef and cave structures.
