Went on a two tank dive as open water diver. I had the BEST time and cannot recommend this group enough. Got my dream of diving with a sea turtle. Quincy, our dive guide was very easy going, made sure we didn’t miss a thing under the water and he also knew all the answers to any questions regarding the history of curaçao and the aquatic life. We also had photographer come along and she did a great job!

Quincy, Julian, everyone that works here. THE BEST. Walked in as a person who has never done scuba in her life. Avid snorkeler for over a decade but grew a pair and decided today was the day. This team and this company is just indescribably caring, attentive, and passionate about what they do and the ocean. They go through almost like a course lecture of scuba, then take you in for using the equipment and becoming comfortable. I will not lie, came in with overconfidence and was humbled very quickly. Quincy was incredibly accommodating for this and walked me off the ledge from a bit of anxiety I was experiencing at the beginning. After that, WOW. Step into a whole other world. They don't just teach you scuba, they teach you how to create a relationship with the ocean to feel safe. This is priceless. A literal life changing experience. Pick this team and I guarantee your life will be changed.

I have not been diving in 1.5 years, so this was the perfect place to slowly come back into it. Luckily we found them and they had availability for us, as the other dive shops were booked.

We met Mats and he explained the pricing, dive sites, ensured we did the reactivate PADI course, and checked our qualifications beforehand.

We did a three-day diving package (2 dives a day) at various locations, all shore dives (they also offer boat dives). We have Jillian and Quincy for our dives and they were very professional, ensuring we all felt safe and calm and explained everything in detail.

I am a very anxious diver, so thank you for your patience.

Equipment is all great 👍🏼 Water and cookies provided after each dive. You should bring your own towels.

Just one suggestion: I was missing the availability to shower in fresh water at the shop after the salty water, but no big deal.

Thank you again for making our trip so great ❤️ We hope to see you again in Curaçao or Switzerland!

My mom and I went on the snorkel trip with JP and it was definitely the highlight of our whole weekend!! We were the only two people on the tour, so it was a very private and exciting experience. JP was very knowledgeable and patient to make sure we all had a chance to see the different fish. We stopped at two different locations to snorkel and both were amazing! The tug boat wreck was incredible to see, especially with the tons of fish swimming around. I highly recommend booking a trip if you are in town and want to see some truly unique snorkeling.

Carolina was also very responsive when booking the trip and making sure all was planned accordingly.

Thank you both for an amazing time!!

We dove with Scubacao Diving Adventures in March 2023. Chris, Divermaster and guide, was exceptional. My wife was at ease bc he was calm and supportive. He seemed to sense issues before they arose. My brother in law was a newbie diver. Chris was able to help with his buoyancy and technique to aid in his improvement. He, Chris, was extremely patient. This is where my wife fell in love with diving a wall. We dive extensively now and a wall is still her favorite. Chris pointed out lots of marine life (tons of fish, eels, the beloved seahorses). We dove a wreck and the wall. We are considering going back for an extended stay and will use Scubacao and ask for Chris. Chris made our dives better. We highly recommend Scubacao Diving Adventures.

I did my Advanced open water diver certification with Scubaçao with 5 dives over 2 days, the first two dives were with Matts including an amazing Lion fish hunting experience, we caught three fish and it made a great lunch!! The next 3 dives were with Jillian including a fantastic shipwreck dive at Tugboat beach, both my instructors were amazing and lots of fun, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to be one-on-one with my instructors both days, I can’t recommend this dive centre enough, I hope to come back again as it was my favourite experience from my holiday!

Sheila Hernandez

The most amazing scuba diving experience ever. We had not scuba dived in 10 years and Carolina made us feel extremely comfortable and ensure we had all the knowledge we needed to truly enjoy this excursion. The coral reef was spectacular, vibrant, and healthy. We also had Frida join to take all of our cool underwater photos and videos. We could not have asked for a better excursion while we enjoyed our 1 day at Curacao from the cruise.
