Dive-site story
Located off the rugged northwestern tip of Curaçao near Westpunt, Watamula features sprawling coral fields composed of large brain coral mounds, encrusting sheet corals, and sea fans. Ocean currents converge here, sustaining dense fish populations and dynamic sponges. The dive is almost always conducted from a boat as a drift, following a gradual sloping reef that drops off into deeper blue water.
Extensive hard coral gardens with exceptionally high reef cover
Frequent drift dive along a sweeping reef slope where currents meet
High concentration of large barrel sponges and gorgonian fans
