This dive site, Playa Hundu, is located just a short swim from a small, tranquil beach, making it an ideal shore dive. Divers can easily navigate from the beach to the coral reef, which begins at a shallow depth of 5 meters (15 feet) and gently drops off to approximately 30 meters (100 feet) before transitioning to a sandy bottom. The reef offers an interesting topography, perfect for exploration.
The vibrant coral reef at Playa Hundu is home to a variety of marine life. Keep an eye out for stingrays, which are often spotted camouflaged in the sandy areas near the reef. The site is particularly known for its abundance of charming flamingo tongue snails, making it a treat for macro enthusiasts. General reef fish are also plentiful among the corals.
Playa Hundu is suitable for diving year-round, with consistently good conditions typical of Curaçao. Its quiet beach access and clear waters make it an excellent spot for both divers and freedivers seeking a peaceful underwater experience. The shallow reef top is also fantastic for snorkelers looking to enjoy the vibrant marine ecosystem.
