HOME - THE LITTLE GREEN BOAT

Private diving & sailing in Curaçao. Small. Sustainable. Relaxed.

"The ocean's power to regenerate is remarkable, if only we give it the chance." - Sir David Attenborough

OUR PURPOSE

Making marine exploration and preservation accessible to all.
Each guest is a member of the mission.

Our mission is simple: to help everyone discover the beauty of Curaçao’s seabed, and enjoy it in a way that protects it.

Whether aboard our sailboat equipped for data collection for scientists, or from the shore, each outing becomes a micro-expedition.

Depending on the level, whether snorkeling or scuba diving, our guests observe, collect and participate in concrete actions for the benefit of marine life during their stay in Curaçao.

Diving and marine exploration equipment on board :

Our GoPro Hero 13 with dedicated red filters

Underwater, red quickly disappears, followed by orange and yellow. The result: videos that are all blue. With our GoPro Hero 13 equipped with suitable red filters, we bring back true-to-life colors. Warm corals, vibrant fish, natural skin tones. Your memories come true again.

Blue light torches and yellow barrier filters

You might think you know the colors of the reef. But at night, think again. Under a specific blue light, corals, anemones, and tiny crustaceans glow in unexpected shades of acid green, electric yellow, and red. With our fluorescent gear, you'll discover another side of Curaçao.

Aquarian H2D hydrophone with Zoom F3 recorder

It's often said that the underwater world is silent. Think again. A healthy reef crackles, rumbles, and croaks. Thanks to our underwater listening technology, you can hear it live, and then relive it after your dive.

Onboard 3D scanner

On board, we use an Axiom RealVision™ 3D system with two RV-220 transducers mounted under the hull. Within minutes, the seabed appears in three dimensions — relief, sand channels, coral heads, debris, small wrecks, and signs of fish activity. We map your route before you even enter the water, maximizing encounters, comfort, and image opportunities.
