Amazing, Professional, Inspiring

Teodora_I, Apr 2022

Dealing with my claustrophobic wife, my reckless adrenaline hothead 14 yr old, and my arthritic leg this tour looked challenged but Hans, Zoe, and Ron made that a beautiful and seamless experience! We did not have any training in scuba but felt extremely comfortable. Views and sea life was amazing. Thank you for this journey, off to PADi certification now😀

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thanks for the review Teodora. It was great to have at our divecenter and we like challenging families. We take our time to make it comfortable for everyone. And after this first journey it's a small step to the open water. We hope to see you back.

Beautiful, best dive ever!!

Thanks for the review Irina. I hope this first time will not be your last time in this surreal world. We do it daily and it's an addiction. We hope to see you back.

Unforgettable

Sazi, Mar 2021

Excellent and professional service! Hans took extra time to review everything we needed to know beforehand (including the risks and how to prevent them) and he ensures that all guests are comfortable in the water with their gear and equipment before proceeding. Pictures taken by Hans himself are stunning! Transportation provided to and from the hotel. Unforgettable experience!

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Thanks for the review Sazi. Great that you guys enjoyed and the risks we talked about didn't make you scared. Better to know what can go wrong so we can prevent that and make the experience unforgettable. We hope to see you back

Great way to learn about Curacao

Karen_B, Dec 2018

I signed us up for the discover diving trip thru Curious 2 Dive knowing we would be in Curacao for the day with our cruise. The booking process was super simple, and we received email confirmation right away. I reached out directly to Hans to confirm the pickup point and he quickly responded as well.When we arrived in port, I did not know about the time difference, but Hans had taken that into account and was waiting for us right outside the security gate for port. He drove my husband and I to the drive shop all the while communicating with his staff to make sure everything was ready when we got there. I had been worried about sizing ( I'm a large person ) but Hans and his staff were able to accommodate us just fine. When we got to the shop our gear was ready to go. Gwen drove us to the site where we walked in, we dove the tugboat, a wall and under the tie ups for boats. Gwen took a ton of pictures for us, and was great to deal with. We were a little rusty with our diving skills and this was perfect. Tons of fish, saw lionfish, cow-fish and sting rays. It was really great to see the efforts that Han's dive shop and others in the area are making to re-grow the reefs. They have underwater trees where they are cloning coral. All of the pictures that Gwen took were provided to us for free after our dive! Amazing! And Gwen's pictures came out so much better than the ones we took! :) Thanks!Hans and all of his staff were great! Hans knows so much, there really wasn't a subject he couldn't speak to. I really hope that we get back to Curacao, our visit with Hans, Gwen and his staff really makes us want to come back to Curacao.Thanks so much for a great dive!

While I am a certified Diver, it had been a long time since I dove. The Dive Master was fantastic and we had a great near shore Wall and Wreck dive!! I highly recommend them. They are also specialist in people with Disabilities. Like recent stroke victims or Veterans with challenges.

We had a great time on the Discover Diving tour! The dive site was beautiful and so much fun. Hans and everyone else at the shop were very knowledgeable and helpful. We can't wait to go back!
