WATAMULA
Curaçao
Watamula is the most western dive site on the island, located between Westpunt and Noordpunt. Groupers, lobsters and turtles roam around in this site while seahorses and rays rest on the sandy bottom. Watamula also has a number of 'cleaning stations', which attract many large and small fish. The name Watamula is derived from the Dutch word 'watermill' and not without reason. Because three currents converge here, it's impossible to predict what kind of dive you will make and how long it will last. Watamula is also a tourist attraction. Near the entry point there is a large round hole in the ground, where the seawater splashes up through an underground tunnel.
