Diving

The resort, a prime dive destination on Curaçao, offers diving through PADI certified Ocean Encounters West, situated on property. Guests may enjoy this fully equipped, on-site dive shop that will arrange a wide assortment of diving courses and excursions. From resort to master dive courses, Ocean Encounters West offers PADI courses for all levels of experience. Equipment rental and filling stations are also available. Some of the more popular dive sites, located nearby include:

Alice in Wonderland, also known as Playa “Kalki,” just a shore dive away. Magnificent reefs featuring green moray eels, lobsters, and mushroom shaped star coral formations and a vivid array of brightly colored reef fish. Visibility averages 100 feet.

Mushroom Forest, one of Curaçao’s most popular dive sites is only 30 minutes away by boat from the resort. The site features a sloping reef with huge mushroom shaped coral formations. Average visibility is 90 feet.

Watamula, which some say is one of the most untouched dive sites off Curaçao, is only a five to seven minute boat ride from the resort. The site features spectacular formations of hard corals, coral gardens and a large variety of maritime life. Visibility averages at 90 feet.

Since February 2007 an airplane Fokker Fairchild 27 offers a new attraction as well for divers as a new ground for maritime life at Watamula (which is a 5 minute boat ride from the Lodge- it is right off of our coastline) . Ocean Encounters West offers daily afternoon one tank boat dives to the wreck.
You can find a short video of a guest diving at the airplane on our video page.
