My daughters and I participated in the Discover Scuba Course at Jads, Walter was our instructor, he made my girls feel very comfortable and relaxed. We did 2 shore dives that were perfect for beginners. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Pick up and drop off at our hotel. I would recommend Jads to anyone. Jads would be the... more

Well, on a cold day here in Pennsylvania (it's going to snow tomorrow!) I'm thinking of my vacation in Aruba, back in September, 2009. I am certain that the staff of JADS are the best dive teachers, if not the best divers, on Aruba. My husband and I took a discover dive (my 1st dive ever) with Walter at Rocky... more

I did 4 days of boat diving and 1 day of shore diving with JADS. The service from the time I was picked up at my hotel to the time the dives were over and returned to my hotel was great. The boat captain and dive master were always friendly and made me feel welcomed. I couldn't have asked for... more

My husband and I just returned from Aruba where we dove 8 dives in 4 days celebrating our 20 year anniversary. Just recently certified and having never dove in the ocean along with some health concerns I was terrified. Walter (awsome guy!) altered the first shore dive for me and put a dive master in training on my side the... more

Dove two days on the boat. Captain and dive master were friendly and knowledgeable. Was impressed on 2nd day when a member of crew jumped overboard when we were cruising to the 2nd dive site of the day to collect a plastic bag that was seen floating (to keep turtles from mistaking for a jellyfish and eating it). Dive sites... more

Newly certified, my first time in the ocean was with Jads and I highly recommend them. JP also took us on tour of their expanded and soon to be completed facility. Next time, instead of visiting Jads while cruising... we will spend a week on our own. I'm sure you will enjoy your time with them. more

First time diving in Aruba and JADS was recommended to my wife and I. I am certified and my wife is not. I explained the situation and they were able to accomodate us with a one on one session and when complete, we were in the water. Since it was her first time, we elected for the picture package and... more

We just arrived back from a week long trip to Aruba (Oct 17th- Oct 24th). Three of us in the group are newly certified divers and so we were looking for a low pressure, small group situation to insure everyone had a spectacular time and JADS (and especially Walter) delivered 100%!!! Our first day out we did a couple of... more

Oct 9 - 19, 09. I just got back from Aruba. I did 4 days of diving with JADS. All of the groups were small and the JADS crew was great. One dive was on the reef at the same time as the submarine tour went by...that was great because my wife was on the sub. I enjoyed the dives... more
