    Any seahorses in Curacao?

    We are going to Curacao July 21. Is there any chance of seeing any seahorses? Thanks

    We've seen them at Varsenbaai. And looked for them unsuccessfully at Lost Anchor.

    We've seen seahorses, not what I'd call common but they're there so certainly a chance. Used to be a couple found reliably off Habitat (closed now.) Pretty sure we've seen them other Curacao sites but don't recall which ones.

    Seahorses have been spotted at Rediho, Scooter (boat dives) and on the shore dive @ the old Sunset Waters most recently.

    If there are other spots that I hear about I will post.

    Have a great day!

    I found one in 2010...the DM had to buy me a beer when we returned

    I would like to go back and try again soon, and will definitely dive with The Dive Bus when we do!

    Never any guarantees, but we saw three this past week and looked but failed to find two others reported near Tugboat. Check with the dive ops/sites as you travel around; they usually know if there is anything unusual around.

    Not the best pic, but Andreas spotted this guy at Rediho. I haven't seen any others.
