About this site
The Tugboat Pier lies on the leeward coast of Curaçao, near the Sea Aquarium area outside Willemstad, and takes its name from a small tugboat wreck resting close to shore. It's a shore dive reachable directly from the pier structure it's named for, with the site reaching a maximum depth of around 30 metres and rated a beginner dive. Divers have also reported barracuda around the site.
