I owe unique sports a special thank you but there is one person specifically I need to thank , Cindy. If it were not for here I honestly dont think I would have made it past my first dive :) I had anything and everything go wrong n the first dive, but Thanks to Cindy she showed me that I... More

I have been to Aruba twice I have taken the resort course if you are lookng for a cheap way to learn to SCUBA I highly recommend the resort course or discover SCUBA. Unique sports of Aruba offers the course and the instructors are very knowledgeble and it is a self paced environment. The instructor I had was Cindy and... More

This was the worst diving "tourist trap" experience of my life. These are the nastiest employees I have ever met.. No concern for safety of the "experience" of a good dive..We had six people from The USA; four of which were divers and were to go. The employees prevented one from going, by failing to disclose one beginning course was... More

Took the resort course for Scuba with them with a thin Canadian girl as our divemaster. I honestly think she was annoyed to be doing the resort course rather than diving with PADI certified divers. We received maybe an hour of instruction total before it was time to go to the boat. As soon as we borded the boat with... More

the girl (suposed to be a instructor) told to my friend who was diving with me for the first time and have some troubles with flotation that he should come back to the boat if he coud not navigate with the others guys. A total disrespect with someone who payed for that. I did not believe when he told me... More

I was snorkeling with another group on the sunken ship and was about 40 feet from our boat. This outfit came to the area, and the only thing that stopped the from running me over in the water (with a bright green snorkel) was my boat yelling at them to stop. The spotter on the bow of their boat didn't... More

I just got my PADI card last summer and was excited about my first ocean dives in Aruba. The Latin people that work there (mostly guys) are a lot friendlier than the Caucasian (Dutch/Canadian) people. One of the younger women working there seemed irritated that I was asking her so many questions after I learned that she was a dive... More

My son and I chose to dive with Unique Sports. Excellent decision. We did 3 wreck dives, a drift dive and a night dive. All were very well run and very professional. We felt extremely safe and well taken care of at all times. They also have very nice dive boats! My son did his advanced open water. The instructors... More

One doesn't typically chose Aruba for a diving vacation, but if you're going to Aruba, I would certainly go jump in the water, and in retrospect that's the right expectation to set (we both have over 100 dives at this point). It's also not a bad spot to just do some resort diving or to take a certification, before going... More

I purchased an unlimited dive package & stated that I wanted to dive as much as possible during my stay. The first 2 days were ok, aside from crowded boats. DM/crew was good and dives were as planned. One drawback to Unique is that due to volume, they limit dives to ~45 min. I showed up for my 3rd day... More
