Probably the best "hard coral" reef on the south side of Curacao. Watamula is situated at the western tip of the island and is best dived from a boat. Both "Dive Charter Curacao" and "Ocean Encounters West" run boat trips to Watamula. Shore diving is possible but both entry and exit are very difficult, due to possible strong currents a dive guide should be used.

Daily boat trip is about 90 minutes to the dive site. To see the whale sharks, its important to dive 2-4 days after a full moon and the best months are April, May and June. Placencia is a pretty quaint little town, nothing like the far busier San Pedro. Seahorse Dive Shop is probably the best in the area and the owners are fantastic divers and captains.
