Citizen science
Night dives in Curaçao reveal what daylight hides. Using filters, we observe how corals and marine life respond through fluorescence, creating snapshots that help track reef health over time in Curaçao. Brief observations of fluorescent corals, nocturnal creatures, and reef conditions contribute to a broader understanding of a thriving ecosystem. You will also receive a personalized dive report, including our observations and photos.
