Great first diving experience - My very first diving experience with Jan Thiel Diving in Curaçao was absolutely amazing! Under the guidance of diving instructors Cas and Lieke, I immediately felt at ease. Here are my impressions: Professional instructors: Cas and Lieke are very experienced and professional diving instructors. They took the time to explain everything and made me feel safe. Beautiful underwater world: Tugboat Beach, named after a tugboat that sank off the coast here almost forty years ago, offers a spectacular diving experience. The wreck is about fifty meters from the beach. The water is crystal clear and you can see the boat very well. Moreover, you will see beautiful fish in bright colors here. Lieke also took fantastic underwater photos that I will cherish forever! Personal attention: Jan Thiel Diving works with small groups, so you get a lot of personal attention. Cas and Lieke were patient and helpful, even when I needed some extra guidance. In short, if you want to make your first dive and enjoy the beautiful underwater world, I highly recommend Jan Thiel Diving!

Super beautiful experience - underwater world at TugBoat Beach - Very nice experience. Before the start of the dive, diving instructor Lieke gave clear explanations and a number of exercises were done in the water where time was really taken for you. Together with diving instructors Cas and Lieke, we dived with a small group to a depth of 12 meters. Our dive was also recorded by Lieke with an underwater camera. This way we have a beautiful photo report of this unique experience! You must have seen the beautiful undersea world at least once. Jan Thiel Diving is highly recommended!

Great experience, beautifull wild live, guided by professional Instructor. - Great adventure, professional preparation, training and practice in shallow water. The dive experience was fabulous, also in deep water, constantly watched and guided by the instructor Cas, and great pictures made by Lieke. The wild live was divers with beautifull colured fish, and even spotted a giant crab. Can not wait to make my next dive experience at Jan Thiel Diving.

Unforgettable trial dive - Our trial dive at Jan Thiel Diving on Curaçao was fantastic! The team is incredibly friendly and professional, with a clear focus on safety. Underwater it was a magical world full of colorful fish and coral. The instructors' enthusiasm is infectious, and they really took the time to make us feel comfortable. Even my sister-in-law, initially doubtful, thoroughly enjoyed it. I look back on this unforgettable first dive with a big smile!

Highly recommended. Would do it again in a heartbeat! - Words are not enough to describe this experience. After a short safety instruction you go to the diving location. Here you will first practice a few skills that you will need during the dive. After this they take you to deeper water where you will encounter all kinds of beautiful things. Instructors take enough time with you so that you can fully enjoy this experience. If I ever come back here again, I will definitely dive with this provider again

A Diving Adventure to Cherish at Jan Thiel Diving on Curaçao - As a diver I have had the privilege of exploring countless dive sites, but my experience with Jan Thiel Diving in Curacao is definitely at the top of my list. During my stay I made several dives with this fantastic team, and every dive was an unforgettable trip. From the moment I arrived at Jan Thiel Diving, I felt welcome. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is not only friendly but also extremely knowledgeable and professional. I felt like I was part of a diving community that is passionate about exploring Curacao's beautiful underwater world. What really excited me were the dive trips themselves. Every dive site we visited was breathtakingly beautiful, with an abundance of colorful coral reefs, fascinating marine life and impressive underwater landscapes. It was like swimming through a vibrant painting, each movement revealing new discoveries and wonders. I must also mention how excited my kids were about their diving experiences. The instructors at Jan Thiel Diving made them feel safe and confident underwater, allowing them to fully enjoy the wonders of the ocean. One of the highlights for me was shooting lionfish, which was an exhilarating experience. Not only was it exciting, but it also contributed to conservation efforts by helping to control the invasive population of lionfish. And let's not forget the night dives! Exploring the underwater world under the cover of darkness was a completely different and enchanting experience. The nocturnal creatures, illuminated by our dive lights, created a magical atmosphere that I will never forget. What really sets Jan Thiel Diving apart is their commitment to safety and sustainability. Before each dive we were given extensive briefings and made sure we were well prepared and comfortable. In addition, a lot of emphasis is placed on preserving the marine ecosystem, which is extra important to me as a nature lover. All in all, I can highly recommend Jan Thiel Diving to anyone looking for an extraordinary diving experience in Curaçao. Whether you are an experienced diver or just starting out, this is the place to be. Thanks to the entire team at Jan Thiel Diving for creating memories that I will cherish forever. I'm already looking forward to returning! Yours sincerely, Boris

Top dive - Dived for the first time and immediately obtained the certification. Super guidance that will help you before and during the dive. My girlfriend found it very exciting, but because of the good approach of the instructor, she went along and made a super dive! In addition, you can have beautiful photos taken during the dive that you can buy for a top price! Highly recommended to go diving here!
