10/10 Must Have Experience! No need to look elsewhere for a magnificent dive.

The Jan Thiel Diving team was beyond excellent and extremely accommodating. They communicated with us from start to finish and gave us an unforgettable couple hours during our cruise ship stop over in Curacao. Our instructor Cas was very patient, ensured our safety all throughout the dive and gave us a truly amazing experience. The wreck site was simply gorgeous and we had such a great time we plan to visit again soon. A huge thanks to the team for picking us up and arranging a drop off for us back to the pier at the end. You added a well needed stress-free break to an already hectic morning, so grateful!

Great Intro Dive!

Fantastic time for first time scuba with my boys (ages of 15 and up 18). It was probably the 5th intro dive for me, and Ronald was the best instructor for first timers that I have ever experienced.

Ronald is the best!

This was our first time scuba diving, and we can't recommend it enough. Ronald was an excellent instructor: friendly, fun, easy going while still very safe and rigorous. It was the perfect introduction to scuba skills with the opportunity to see so much sea life and interesting things on the sea floor. Thank you, Ronald, for giving us such a memorable experience!

Amazing first dive for my daughter and wife!

Ronald and Lieke were amazing! We saw so many coral and fish and even a school of squid! I would absolutely suggest booking the photographer, because this allowed us to really focus on the dive and she captured the photos. Great job to both Ronald and Lieke. My wife and daughter are both going to get their certification so we can dive more!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this wonderfull review! We are happy to read you had a great experience with us and Lieke was able to capture your experience on camera. If you are planning to come back to the island as certified divers, you are more then welcome to join us again! :)

Fantastic first experience for my wife and daughter!

Ronald was amazing with instructions and got us safely into the water and through our skills checks. My wife and daughter loved their first scuba experience and are now planning to become open water certified. I went along with them and had an amazing time as well. We saw tons of fish, corals, and even some squid. We booked the photographer, which I highly recommend because we could focus only on enjoying the experience and she captured fantastic images of us and the environment. Great job Lieke!! Thank you both for such a great time!!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your amazing review! And great to hear they are planning to become certified divers. Happy to read that both Ronald and Lieke did a good job with you and you had such a great time. :)

First experience with diving

Together with my girlfriend I had a Discover Scuba Dive with Lieke. She explained everything in a fun way. When the diving got tricky, she took the time to let me get used to breathing underwater in a very relaxed way. After this had a fantastic experience. Lieke knew how to show a lot of nice fish and spots. We would recommend Jan Thiel Diving to anyone!

Operator response

Bedankt voor je mooie review! Super leuk om te lezen dat jullie een fantastische ervaring hebben gehad en Lieke je goed kon helpen wannee het nodig was.
