Ocean Encounters West is located at one of Curaçao’s best dive sites, Alice in Wonderland, right on the idyllic sandy beach of Playa Kalki in Westpunt. The dive center offers the full range of PADI courses (up to dive master), quality equipment rental and an air filling station. The Ocean Encounters West house reef offers a rich combination of hard coral formations, sponges, tropical fish and a wide selection of colorful marine life. Turtles, rays, lobster, and morays are just some of the local inhabitants you’ll likely encounter. The Ocean Encounters West crew can supply you with detailed information about all of our unique dive sites. We offer daily boat trips to sites which are hard to get to or impossible to reach from shore. Curaçao's most well-known dive site, Mushroom Forest, is on our schedule at least twice per week. The most northern dive site, Watamula, is only 5 minutes away by boat and offers spectacular healthy formations of hard corals, a soft coral-garden and a large variety of marine life.
