About this site
The SS Oranje Nassau lies as a wreck dive off Curaçao, an island in the southern Caribbean just north of Venezuela, in the waters near Willemstad where the coastline is known for steep drop-offs close to shore. Divers exploring the site have reported Atlantic blue tang, Atlantic sergeant major, redband and stoplight parrotfish moving over the structure, along with lettuce coral and sally lightfoot crabs on the hull and surrounding reef. Depth, condition, and how the wreck sits are best confirmed with a local dive operator, but the marine life recorded here gives a good sense of what to expect on the dive.
