Stella Maris (LionsDive house reef)
Shore house reef of Ocean Encounters off LionsDive Beach Resort and the main coral nursery site of Reef Renewal Curaçao; one of the best places on the island to see active coral restoration up close. Also a regular night-dive site. A 90 m freighter of the same name lies far deeper (about 130-142 m) beyond the wall.
