Every morning we go out on a 2 tank dive trips by car and we dive more or less all dive sites that are reached from shore. The lovely wreck of the Tugboat, abounded corals at Directors Bay, the almost alien environment of the Carpile or would you like to join on a full day trip towards the West side of the island?
You name it, we can take you there. Expect to see stunning coral reefs with a large variety of reef fish, turtles, lobsters, rays and other creatures. All the trips are with small groups with lots of personal attention so you will not be bored and will become more experienced and will have more confidence in the thing we love: diving on Curacao!

We had an incredible time with Jan Thiel Diving. We spent our first few days doing the PADI Advanced Open Water course, getting intimate 1 on 1 instruction from the shop's experienced staff. My wife and I learned a ton in the course.
For the rest of the week, we hung out with these guys as they took us out for shore dives in the hottest spots all over the island.
Staff is experienced, chill, and very personable. Curaçao is a former Dutch Colony, but the divemasters joked and chatted us up in English. They were great. Another guest with us has been going to Curaçao for 25 years, and this is his dive shop of choice. That should tell you more about this shop than I can.
Going to Curaçao? Diving? Jan Thiel is like being part of a veteran dive group, taking their friends to the best spots they can think of, every day.

Fantastic experience as usual, extremely friendly, very accommodating, family friendly. My (now) 12 year old son and I learned how to drive with them, they made us feel at home in the waters of Curaçao. We even went for a night dive on our last trip. Exceptional group of professionals, looking for our next dive.

We had a great diving experience with Jan Thiel diving. Really very warmly recommended! We had 5 shore dives with them. All were excellent. I appreciated the brief refresher course (it had been 2,5 yrs since the last dive), the attention to safety (incl an “exam”) and the attention for detail under water. Dennis and Jill guided the first 3 dives for all 5 of us, and 2 of us had another 2 dives with Jill. Guides are super knowledgeable, fun and friendly. They love the island, its people and the marine wildlife. We had wanted more dives with them, but alas they were fully booked. Hence we had to go to another diving club. It was also PADI certified but what a difference in attitude, in professionalism and attention to safety. After one dive we decided not to continue …
So here is my advice: go to JanThiel Diving.
Book well in advance.
And remember: Diving with Jill is super chill!

We enjoyed a very pleasant and beautiful dive at Mari Pampoen and Double Reef. Great locations as they are a little of the beaten path. Thanks to our guide Dennis, we also had a lot of fun.

I dove with Dennis and Floris and had a wonderful time at 4 different sites around Curacao! +1000000
The entire team was super professional, but in true island fashion very laid back and allowed me to craft a dive experience unique to me!
Best of all the pics and videos from my dive were delivered SAME DAY - which was huge especially being at other dive shops that take several days to deliver.
Additionally all equipment was well maintained And the dive shop was in a resort area so getting coffee and a post-dive shower was convenient.
I’d highly recommend !

Our guide was amazing, and the dives were some of the best I have done. There were only 2 of us in our group, if you can call that a group, and it felt like private dive. We saw 6 or 7 big sea turtle along with clouds of fish. Couldn't recommend it more.

Came in on a cruise, they picked us up at the port and brought my dive buddy and I on two awesome guided shore dives.
The service, from the pre cruise booking emails to the actual dives was excellent. Our DM went above and beyond to accommodate us and brought us to unforgettable dive sites.

Is it possible to dive somewhere else besides the tugboat, we already did that dive this week. What are the other options?
Cheers,
