Delicious first diving experience! Everything was well arranged and we got an excellent explanation for the dive. What makes this dive center even better are the small groups you will dive in, especially for the first time. This way the supervisor can easily help and keep an eye on everyone. Definitely recommended for divers of any category.

A nice first experience with diving. Monique took her time! Seen many beautiful fish and because everything was so gradual we were even able to dive up to 11 meters.

Our first time diving was a top experience! We both found it exciting but Angelique took the time to explain everything well and put us at ease. Because we had booked a private dive she had personal attention for us and took our individual boundaries into account. Very fun and educational to assemble your own diving equipment so you know how everything works in advance. Then we discovered the beautiful underwater world at Caracas Bay! 😍 All in all a great experience and if we are ever on Curaçao again we will definitely be back!

This morning 5 members of the family and 1 family member, who can dive very well already, did the introduction dive. Always exciting, but both instructors, guide the group in a nice quiet way👍then it will happen, they go diving and away they went! After an hour we saw the flu enter the world again, all happy faces and many with a special experience 👌then the stories came loose😳 and the tension was off! Thanks to the TOP instructors with a heart of gold. Overall it was GRANDIOSE!

Monique was a fantastic and calming guide—perfect for two newbies! She gave a detailed introduction to scuba diving, our equipment, and the marine life we might see before we entered the water. She kept a close eye on us and guided us through an incredible dive, with lots of pointers so we improved throughout. We were nervous going into the experience and she made it so much fun!

Made an introductory dive with all the children of us to introduce everyone to this beautiful underwater world on curacou. Led by Monique and Angelique dived while Gerard captured everything on camera. Everything was well explained and edited by them so we have an experience for life. A swim to enjoy for a long time with all of us because of the beautiful images videos we got on a USB stick. Yes perfectly arranged and can recommend it to everyone through good and honest communication. Dive even lasted 1 hour underwater by instruction while many groups went out after only 20 to 30 minutes. So Family van der Ven like to see you next time and good luck further.
