Rebecca

I became a certified scuba diver with Dennis, and I would totally recommend it! Nice, kind professionals and life enjoyers, they are an amazing team. Best scuba diving school on the island!

T. Steinbusch

It was my first trip to Curaçao, and I wasn't sure what to expect. My main goal was to take two dives: one wreck dive, leaving the other open for suggestions. I was recommended to join Jan Thiel Diving for this special experience.

We explored the Superior Producer and Marie Pampoen, both shore dives. I have to say, I enjoyed the dives to the fullest—it was amazing!

For the dive, I didn't bring any camera gear, so I arranged for their professional photographer to join me underwater. When I say professional, I mean the real deal with top-notch equipment!

They offered great support and were highly professional, creating a relaxed atmosphere that made the experience even better and great fun to spend a day with.

In short, they have a great team, a great vibe, and offer stunning dives. It was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend them!

Alessandro Lucarelli

What a fantastic dive shop! Cas, Esme, Maurice, and Denis are amazing individuals to be around. They are passionate about their shop, making it feel personal and welcoming.

I've done five dives with Cas so far, and he took us to incredible spots while maintaining professionalism throughout.

As an advanced certified diver without a buddy, I feel completely comfortable diving alone on their guided tours with Jan Thiel Diving.

Looking forward to the next dives!

Thijs van den Kerkhof

First dive and super great experience! Instructor and owner Cas is simply a diving legend and made it our best experience we ever had on the Island!

Chamber Team

I love wrecks and my dive on the Superior Producer was made even better by diving with Cas and his divemaster from Jan Thiel Diving. It was a great dive - $24 on Sport Diver's best wreck dives in the world. It was an easy dive for me and Cas was so helpful carrying my gear down to the pier (I need extra help due to an old back injury). He also was kind enough to take pics with his GoPro. We had a great time. I was only going to do this one dive with them as they were the only ones that could take me to the Superior Producer while I was visiting but I had such a great time that I joined them and another diver on a second shore dive. Great personal attention, a more personalized experience and it's obvious Cas really knows his stuff. I can't say enough good things about him! And a good reminder: you have to bring your drivers licence or ID to show when diving from the mega pier to swim to the Superior Producer as the pier is private. While it was windy and wavy that day, there wasn't much current and I found it an easy dive and the holds are large enough to easily swim into to explore. I've had many great dives in Curacao on my two trips there: this one with Jan Thiel Diving is a must-do for anyone who likes wreck diving.

Eric Grenier-Denis

I did the «Discover scuba diving» course. It was great. Dennis was a great instructor. The whole thing went smoothly, I felt safe the whole time and the dive was an amazing experience. If you are looking for an intro to diving, I highly suggest their course! And we got pictures out of it, which was a surprise and really appreciated!
