Guided Shore Dive för certifierade dykare med Scubaçao (2 tank)

I had a fantastic time on my two-tank scuba dive with Matz! It had been several years since my last dive, so I was definitely feeling a little rusty. Matz was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and reassuring. His clear explanations and calm demeanor helped me regain my confidence and enjoy every moment underwater. Our first shore dive was at Marie Pampoen Beach, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The colorful fish, beautiful coral, and marine life made for an unforgettable experience. I also booked an underwater photography session with Tia, who was wonderful to work with. She was so kind and professional, and the photos she captured were absolutely beautiful. She truly helped make the day even more special. Our second shore dive at Boka Simon Beach was also excellent, with plenty of beautiful fish and great underwater scenery to enjoy. If you're looking for a safe, enjoyable, and memorable scuba diving experience, I highly recommend diving with Matz and his team. Whether you're a beginner, returning to diving after a break, or an experienced diver, you'll be in great hands. I had an excellent time and can't wait to dive again!

Our tour guide, Motz, was very helpful and made the experience very enjoyable. All gear was supplied and the water was beautiful.

What an amazing experience with the guys from Scubaçao. The team is extra professional, friendly and motivated. The dive center is fully equipped. Everyone is willing to help and share their knowledge and experience with you. The places we visited were beautiful too. I went diving with them several days and everything worked out fantastic every single time! Highly recommended! Do not miss out and visit Caro and JP at Scubaçao.

Excellent communication and response via WhatsApp prior to the trip. Hotel pick up near the cruise port was very helpful and a big plus as others I contacted did not offer this service. 8:30 pickup 2:00 drop off for 2- tank. Mats was the most welcoming and respectful dive guide who I was lucky to get to know for a few days of diving and who is now a friend. He went out of his way to make your dive experience a great one. Mats did not rush anything, everything felt comfortable and your day was made about you the diver and your experience visiting some of Matt’s favorite dive sites on the island, with a nice relaxing pace for the 2-tank trips each day, not a rushed experience like many others on a strict schedule and who do not attempt to get to know you on a personal level. That’s what stands out about Mats, he cares about getting to know you a little more like a new friend! Small groups of 4-6 plus guide of experience matched divers which gives experienced divers more dive time, 48-55 minute dives. All of Mats dive sites he shared were shore dives, shore entry if you haven’t done it before takes some getting used to but was actually quite enjoyable getting acclimated to water in shallows, getting fins, mask on & checking equipment before descent. All of the dive sites had beautiful visibility of 100+ feet, vibrant marine life and colorful, healthy reefs. Only negative and not a big issue as an experienced diver, was the pressure gauge did not have a depth gauge which I like to have in new locations for surface awareness with the shore dive topography of various depths throughout multiple dives otherwise good rental gear condition. Great relaxing dive vacation without the rush I’ve experienced before!

TLDR - best dive ever, 10,000 stars, book without hesitation! If you have time, here are some details: I am going to start by saying that my wife and I have been certified for one year. We certified in a quarry, and our first ocean dive was in Destin, Florida. We are fairly new to this. We had no idea what to expect. We booked this directly with Scubacao, as our Virgin cruise had no scuba excursions on this stop. I selected Scubacao because of their high Google and TripAdvisor reviews, and it was the best decision we made. I honestly don't know how this will be outdone. I found the website and sent them a message, and we communicated via WhatsApp. Communication was excellent. I told the person on the other end that we were new and didn't have a lot of experience ocean diving, and they were very understanding. We booked too late for a boat dive, and they told us we would be doing a shore dive, which we had not done. I sent the necessary paperwork. A few days before our cruise, I got a WhatsApp message with directions on where to be and what time. We were told to walk off the boat, go to the Starbucks, and they would pick us up. We walked to the Starbucks with our gear, and there were a lot of other divers. I thought we would be diving with a large group. People were getting on buses and leaving. We were there for a few minutes, and JP pulls up in his truck and says throw your stuff in the back and let's go! We did and jumped in. JP was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area. He drove us to the dive location and gave us a sightseeing tour on the way. He educated us about local attractions and local laws, languages, religions, politics, and other interesting facts about Curacao. It was literally like we flew to Curacao to dive with a friend who lived there. We went to Shipwreck Beach first. We did our pre-dive safety briefing, and everything was as he described. He was very safety-conscious and gave us some dive tips. He checked on us frequently to make sure we were okay. We saw beautiful fish, eels, squid, and a shipwreck. He led us under the pier, and then we surfaced. We did a post-dive briefing, and he provided local snacks and drinks. The cookies were delicious. Then, he asked my wife what she would like to do, and my wife commented that she would like to see sea turtles. He spoke to another dive operator, and we loaded up our gear and jumped in the truck. This is where it went from amazing to fantastic! We drove to a location with no other divers and did our pre-dive briefing. Knowing we were new, he explained that we would swim out and see nothing but blue, but to trust him because he knew where he was going. The surf was a little rough, and he told us to stand behind him until we got far enough out to descend. We swam about 15 minutes out and began to see a structure come into view. We had made it to "Turtle Rock" as he called it, and we saw several sea turtles, lion fish, moray eel, a sea horse, and lots of fish. It was unbelievable. I don't know how this will ever be topped, to have a private dive with JP and Turtle Rock all to ourselves. After the dive, we went back to the dive shop, cleaned our gear, and he drove us to the terminal and dropped us off. It was an amazing day. Words cannot convey just how awesome this was. The only downside is that this is the dive trip we will compare all future trips to.

Curacao. Experience with SCUBACAO DIVING ADVENTURE. From 28/12/2025 I started to find out in different dive operators and having analyzed the alternatives offered I met with that dive operator. In the different email talks I am confirmed that on 12/04/2026 they would dive into Superior Produce. Taking into account that specific date my trip to Curacao to do that dive plus another one or others that suggest me. On 3/15 they inform me that they will not have an instructor in Spanish, stating that this would be an inconvenience on 3/23 they inform me that it would NOT be inconvenient since they would solve it and close to the date a second dive point would be established. On 9/4 I informed them of my arrival and attentive that they requested a reservation, I made the payment and informed them so they heard and reported a second tentative dive within the dates of my trip. On 4/11 (the day before the first dive at Superior Producer) when I did not receive any information until 6 pm I communicated by email and by whatsapp so that I could be informed of times when they would pick me up the next day. By whatsapp they answer "HI English ok", so I answer that the person I was arranging with, Carolina (who speaks Spanish) was going to solve the problem, so if not, I canceled the reservation. They tell me Carolina wasn't there... Interestingly, Carolina answers me by email and says that not having the deposit confirmed instructor in Spanish. He asks me if we can continue speaking on the same Whatsapp... I report that the reservation was made more than 48 hours in advance. Later they tried hard not to recognize the error, change dive schedules in the afternoon and at 8 pm they send me Whatsapp contact from another operator (the one that was not well qualified online) so that "I communicate" and see if the next day they would dive to said point and with guide in Spanish ... After a good effort they agree to return the reservation. I travelled specifically to Curacao to dive, they gave me assurances that they did not comply and tried not to return the booking being clear (by email and whatsapp that it was done in time), plus I took care of calling someone else (8 pm) to see if I could go diving. Be sure and take precautions if you hire SCUBACAO DIVING ADVENTURE.

Professional and fun dive shop. If you want small groups, book here. They take safety and equipment maintenance seriously while having fun and bringing the smiles. My wife took her PADI Open Water course here 3 years ago and we just keep coming back. We've loved all the Instructors/Guides here over the years. Can't find better on the island.

It’s not a typical dive shop on the beach but in a local neighborhood. You’re bussed to the local beach’s for a walk-in dive. Gwen and the gang are awesome. It’s well organized and convenient. A great new experience.

Good dives with very good support. Interesting territory.

There relaxed / relaxed atmosphere. I hadn't dived for 8 years, I had a dive with 3 other people and two supervisors. This creates trust and overview. I recommend anyone who has not dived at this dive school for a long time to make their first dive.
