Amazing Dive Experience! - What a fantastic dive shop! Cas, Esme, Maurice, and Denis are amazing individuals to be around. They are passionate about their shop, making it feel personal and welcoming. I've done five dives with Cas so far, and he took us to incredible spots while maintaining professionalism throughout. As an advanced certified diver without a buddy, I feel completely comfortable diving alone on their guided tours with Jan Thiel Diving. Looking forward to the next dives!

2 Shore Dive with Maurice 🐢 - As part of our cruise with AIDA, I contacted Jan Thiel Diving in advance. I received a prompt reply by email and the subsequent communication via WhatsApp was great. Absolutely trustworthy, uncomplicated, no advance payment and great service. With pick-up and drop-off service, rental equipment at a super fair price. The two dives with Maurice left nothing to be desired. My diver's heart is definitely drawn to Curaçao again and then definitely to Jan Thiel Diving. It couldn't be better. Thank you Maurice for this great Sunday on March 17th, 2024

They're the best - The team at Jan Thiel Diving is the best , they're knowledgeable, accommodating and fun to be around. My son and I learned diving with them and repeatedly have returned for more dives and adventures. Bob, Dennis, Thijmen - just to name a few - are fantastic. I highly recommend them, especially if you're thinking on learning how to dive.

Amazing diving with Jan Thiel Diving - My husband and I were in Curaçao for a month and we dove with Jan Thiel Diving with some friends and family. All the staff staff were very friendly, professional and provided top notch guided diving. Maurice provided us with a westpunt dive/tour and was very informative about the island. Very enjoyable day with him. Thanks to Cas, L'eitke, Dennis, Esme and Maurice who were all amazing, professional and extremely helpful to the whole group. Thanks for making our dive vacation fabulous. Plus 10 dive shop which I would highly recommend and would love to come back and dive with again. Elaine and the gang from Canada

Best in class! Very hospitable, knowledgeable and FUN. - We dove 3 days with Dennis and Esme and they had everything covered; well kept gear, cold water, some sugary snacks, and great intel on the island. A-mazing job leading the groups with new and advanced divers. My wife has challenges equalizing, and they were quick to account accommodate. We will be back and will dive with JTD again. Highly recommend!

Fun diving experience ! - We really enjoyed our shore dives with our guide Leika. We saw many fishes and had a great time because we were a group of only 5 divers with similar diving experience. There was no rush in putting our gear and entering the water. Everything was cool. We asked that they pick us up near the cruise terminal and bring us back there after the dives. If we have a chance, we will go back diving with Jan Thiel Diving team.
