My wife and I have been diving for about 7 years and one of the first places we went was to Curacao. We found this small dive shop called The Dive Bus and have been repeat customers ever since. We have been to many destinations in the Caribbean, but continue to come back to visit Mark and Suzy. They have... More

My husband and I pre-booked 2-tanks dives with The Dive Bus while on a Caribbean cruise. Pre-dive email communication was excellent and the booking process was easy, even though they asked for my credit card information via email (they allowed me to call with it). Suzy & Robin answered my many questions and confirmed we had everything we needed in... More

I want to thank the Dive Bus for an excellent day of diving. I happend to be the only customer that day for fun diving. While setting up the gear I've experienced a freeflow problem with my (own) regulator. Without hesitation they got a tool to tune it and they fixed the problem without charging. Great service .. thanks again!... More

We had a few days in Curacao and hearing that the diving was excellent we checked out the Dive Bus... and we were not disappointed. Mark took me on a trial dive (I have no diving qualifications) and after supporting me through some basic skills, we went on a dive. The water was warm and calm and I only wish... More

I found the divebus to be one of the friendliest dive shops I have visited. Mark was very friendly and spent time to help me find a mask that would fir properly. Their house reef is brilliant if you are short of time and just across the road. I would not hesitate to dive with the divebus again.

My daughter's and my first time to Curacao and the Dive Bus crew made it easy and fun. Frank, Mark and the rest made it very enjoyable and a time to remember. They are experienced veterans who kept us safe and showed us some cool things to see.

My nephew and I recently did a two tank dive with Dive Bus while stopping in Curacao on a Carnival Breeze trip. From the very beginning of my contact with them, in the reservation process, they were very prompt and helpful. But that's not the main reason why I hold this dive shop in such high regard. The reason is... More

I had the opportunity to dive with the Dive Bus last week with my uncle. It was amazing! Not only was the staff extremely friendly and personable but the diving was amazing. I got to see everything from lion fish, eels and much more to a huge sea turtle!

We jumped ship and proceeded to hike down to the Dive Bus location (not recommended...take a cab as suggested) surprising Mark and Suzy as no one had apparently tried that before. Once there, John & I were outfitted with great equipment and prepped for our guided dive at Pierbaai Reef, just across the street. Mark was extremely skilled at making... More

My family booked a Discover Scuba class with the Dive Bus when visiting Curacao on a cruise ship. Suzy and I emailed back and forth many times prior to the cruise. She was always responsive to my questions, and worked to accommodate the afternoon session that we needed. She also took photos throughout the land session and we were pleased... More
