About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Jesse M0 contributionsOnce again proven to be the best.The best on the island. Did my Advanced Open Water and Nitrox specialty with them. They were flexible and accommodating just as they were with my OW course. My instructor, Alaric, is the man. Knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, patient and a great teacher. Same goes for the rest of the staff, entirely. Couldn’t be better. 5/5Written February 11, 2025
- tahneea20250 contributionsBlue Bay Padi Open WaterMy experience in the diving course was amazing. I was lucky to be instructed by Lorenzo, a certified PADI instructor who was very patient and had great teaching skills to help achieve the course objectives. All the diving equipment was in excellent condition, and the location is truly beautiful. It is a great place to learn, and you can see many wonderful things underwater. I highly recommend it, and I feel very satisfied with the experience. Thank you, Blue Bay and Lorenzo!Written February 9, 2025
- JulietAlphaWhiskey220 contributionsEnjoyable, chilled snorkelling trip!Great trip with friendly staff. It was good to be shown where to snorkel around the reef and fish being pointed out to us and explained what they were. We tried to spot a turtle but no luck unfortunately. It was possibly quite expensive for just a snorkelling trip, but I imagine it would be more than worth it if you spotted a turtle! Overall happy experience.Written February 2, 2025
- JJA_Alexandria0 contributionsRefresher and diveI am Open Water certified, but it had been several years since my last dive due to the pandemic, so I opted for a "refresher" course. The instructor (Jens, not certain of the spelling) was excellent. Friendly, helpful, very clear in explanations. One very small touch that I very much appreciated was during the dive he picked up a piece of trash from the bottom and took it back with him. That just shows a little bit of care that is sometimes lacking. As for the dive, we walked right in from the beach, the surf was minimal and entry was easy. The reef wall was close, and we saw lots of fish and coral. 100% would recommend.Written January 20, 2025
- randyhY8922YZ0 contributionsThe best course to take. Your confined dives are in the protected Blue Bay instead of a boring pool.Lorenzo was an excellent instructor. He helped us all gain the confidence and experience we needed to learn the skills. Highly recommend you book him for your course.Written January 16, 2025
- Ryan F0 contributionsLove this place!Completed my Advanced Open Water and Nitrox certifications with Blue Bay and couldn’t be happier. My brother got his open water cert here last year, and he loves it too! This is my 3rd year coming to Blue Bay and I absolutely love it here. The staff and dive instructors are extremely nice, attentive, approachable, and compassionate to fit your dive needs and wants. I can’t say enough good things about this place and people, best place to vacation and dive, or learn to dive! Recommend Blue Bay whole heartedly, and will keep coming back!Written January 15, 2025
- jessemK5209OP0 contributionsFireReally really great experience. The first time I got there I didn’t get the necessary doctor forms on time which is my own fault but they were very understanding. They helped me reschedule it easily to just a few days later and after that me and my instructor got started. The two days went by very smoothly and my instructor, Jens was very helpful, patient and chill. So were all the staff I had the pleasure of speaking to. All took their time to answer any questions I had. Nothing to complain about here. Had such a good time I decided to go for my advanced open water (which mind you wasn’t my plan at first) because I can’t imagine there’s a better place to do it. 10/10Written January 10, 2025
- Z5439XKkathrynw0 contributionsExcellent diving instructing and turtle on first dive! 🐢Amazing Intro dive with my family. Children aged 10 and 12 were looked after very well by Jens and Lorenzo and had a wonderful dive in the bay, seeing a turtle, squid and baracuda. Excellent instruction and guidance. I was allowed to do my Refresher dive and join them as I hadn’t been diving for years. We all loved it. Very professional and friendly team. Highly recommend for beginners. Thank youWritten January 5, 2025

- Eddie t0 contributionsDiscover dive at Blue Bay Dive and WatersportI had an incredible experience during my Discover Dive at Blue Bay Beach with Lorenzo from Blue Bay Water Sports! The entire experience was both exciting and enlightening, especially as a newcomer to diving. Lorenzo was an outstanding instructor—he explained everything from the basics, including how the body adapts to different pressures, which really helped me feel at ease. We started by practicing the theory in shallow water, ensuring I fully understood the techniques before moving on to the deeper dive. Lorenzo was patient and thorough, making sure I was comfortable with each step. Once we ventured into the deeper waters, I was completely mesmerized by the stunning underwater world. It was an amazing and beautiful experience. I did need to surface a couple of times to catch my breath and take a break, as I was still adapting to being underwater for an extended period. Lorenzo handled everything with great patience and professionalism, making sure I felt safe and supported throughout the dive. Overall, I had a fantastic time learning this new sport from true professionals. I highly recommend Blue Bay Water Sports to anyone interested in diving, whether you're a seasoned diver or a newbie like me!Written September 1, 2024
- Eddie t0 contributionsSnorkeling at Blue Bay BeachI had an absolutely fantastic experience snorkeling at Blue Bay Water Sports! Tristen, my instructor, was exceptional. She was not only friendly and considerate but also incredibly knowledgeable about the various fish and marine species in the area. Her passion for the underwater world made the experience even more enjoyable. Tristen took the time to ensure I was comfortable and well-informed, which made the adventure both safe and exciting. The vibrant marine life and crystal-clear waters were stunning, and thanks to Tristen, I was able to fully appreciate the beauty of the snorkeling region. I highly recommend Blue Bay Water Sports for an unforgettable snorkeling adventure!Written September 1, 2024

Our dive experience at Blu Bay Resort was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the entire experience was top-notch. A huge shoutout to Ellen, our master diver, who made our dives unforgettable. She was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to point out all the amazing marine life we encountered beneath the surface. Her expertise and passion for diving truly enhanced our underwater tour, making it one of the best dives we’ve ever had.
The resort itself was immaculate, and the entire atmosphere made it the perfect setting for a memorable diving experience. We can’t wait to return to Blue Bay Resort for more incredible dives. Highly recommend!

The dive guides were very nice and could tell a lot about the dive site at the briefing. Coral formations and the usual reef inhabitants impressed there.
The taxi ride from the port - I was a day tourist there from the cruise ship - cost more than the dive. It is recommended to rent a car there.

Completed 3 shore dives at Blue Bay: a fun dive in the coral garden and wall, a night dive and lionfish hunt dive. They were fantastic… we saw a moray, box fish, cow fish, lion fish, brain coral and fans, a school or sardines, multiple barracuda, an octopus, queen angelfish couple, spiny lobster, slipper lobster and trigger fish. Great staff, very welcoming. The only complaint is they charge for sets by the day (rather than your trip), so we didn’t dive as much as we would have liked. Highly recommend.

Diving at Blue Bay is beautiful, easy, relaxed scenic diving at possibly the world's easiest shore diving site. There are no tides, little current, very easy shore diving within a 1 min walk from the friendly and well organised dive centre. Charlie was superb for any of our needs, nothing is too much trouble. We did several tank & weight hire only dives, and one guided night dive with Christina who was fun, friendly and could not be more helpful. I would highly recommend this dive centre and site to anyone considering diving in Curacao.

I took two one tank dives on two separate mornings while staying at Bayside boutique hotel. Dive shop is right on the beach just a short walk from my room for a shore entry dive. Already a huge bonus. Day one we went left to the Garden, about 65feet beautiful coral and an abundance of marine life, with a wide variety of fish to see.
Styn, my dive guide was great, very knowledgable of the area and great dive buddy.
Day two we went right and headed for the Blue Bay Wall, dove down to about 85 feet while going out and around 30 - 40 feet coming back, which allowed us enough air to make it an hour long dive. This was one of my best dive experiences of all time.
Bonus points for local reef reharvesting. We saw the coral stems hanging on a line on the way out.
Thanks Styn

I signed up for the two tank dive and our instructors, Yvette and Steve, were absolutely awesome. The area we dove was absolutely beautiful and I would do it again. Great location, not just for diving, but it was a shore dive and it was a beautiful beach area.
Yvette was our dive master and did a phenomenal job communicating, showing things, and was personable, friendly, helpful, and all around great lady.
Steve helped her out and was amazing as well. Very personable and was there when you needed anything.
Great job guys, I'd love to dive with you again!!!!

We were in Curacao for 1 day on the MSC Divina cruise ship. Our ship did not offer and diving excursions so we booked this through the travel rewards section of our CC.
Staff was easy to deal with and competent in helping with any issues and questions. The dive location was beautiful and peaceful. The dive guide was extremely patient with us, my wife was having issues clearing due to a recent cold but the guide was patient and made her feel at ease.
The guide was flexible... first dive was just the 3 of us, he then offered a second dive which I went on myself while my wife lounged a the beach.
Would absolutely return to this location and use their services again.

We went on two dives with Blue Bay Dive & Watersports on 6/12/24 while at port on the Carnival Mardi Gras. We had no problem catching a taxi to Blue Bay Beach and the taxis are willing to schedule a return trip time and will get you back to the ship dependably. Our guide was Christina. We were very impressed! The setup was perfect and convenient with ample space to get ready. The two dives were amazing! We saw vibrant purple cleaning shrimp, moray eels, drum fish, beautiful french angelfish, Scorpion fish, and many more colorful species in aquarium like clear conditions. Christina made the trip so much better with her helpful, kind, relaxed personality. She pointed out things she saw and seemed to enjoy herself as much as we did. The beach is one of our favorites and a pleasure to spend our surface interval. After our dive a clean restroom, freshwater shower, and rinse bins were available as well as hangers and racks to air out our gear without feeling rushed. We LOVED our day and now want to come back and spend a whole week diving in Curacao.

Great place to visit if you want to do a short dive and it’s great if your friends just want to be lazy at the beach or go snorkeling. I’ve been using this place for over 10 years. It’s convenient if you want to use on the cruise ships too as it’s only 15-18 minutes from the port (use 24-7 taxi app). Our guide/dive master, Tristen, was awesome. Very meticulous and safety oriented. Ask in advance to go on a lion fish hunt dive as we saw a few of those invasive species on our dives. You will see all the fish, eels, flounders, shrimp, and we even saw a huge tarpon.

Very nice facility with good equipment, friendly staff and reasonable price for a two tank dive. Our dive guide was very good and both dives were nice with good visibility and beautiful reef life. We saw green morays, angel fish, parrot fish, barracudas and a turtle. Will definitely dive with them again.

Hi, I'm just a snorkeler and am trying to find out about boats that can take you to reefs that can be snorkeled rather than dived . I'm not finding too much information for this. Roatan West Bay can be snorkelled from shore and Isla Mujares Mexico has dive shops that offer half day trips for snorkelling sites. If you have any answers I would appreciate them:) Thanks
