The best first scuba dive experience! - My husband and I decided to do our first dive while in Curaçao. We had taken some basic training at home but weren’t quite ready for open water certification yet so we did the discover scuba trip. I’m also a little anxious around water so I was concerned about going. From the minute we stepped foot at Jan Thiel Diving they were extremely professional and made sure we were as safe as possible. Our instructor, Maurice was awesome. He was reassuring and very patient with me. When I got nervous he helped calm me down and make sure I felt comfortable. I ended up really enjoying the dive! The training and tips were better than the training we got back home in Toronto. I have no hesitation recommending Jan Thiel Diving to any new or first time divers like me. Ask for Maurice, he’ll be super happy about it, and you’ll be in great hands!

Great Discover Dive experience at Jan Thiel Diving! - During our stay in Curaçao we have done an introduction dive at Jan Thiel Diving. It was our first diving experience and it was simply awesome! Both of us were a bit nervous but our instructor Cas took that fear away very quickly. He clearly showed that he is a very experienced and knowledgeable diver! In addition, Jan Thiel Diving really wants to make sure that you have fun during the diving experience and they put in a lot of effort to show you the great underwater world of Curaçao. Thanks Cas for the great experience and we will for sure come back to Jan Thiel Diving!

Scuba Do is awesome - I did. A two tank dive today. Bjorn and Max were awesome. They accommodated me picking me up from my cruise ship bringing me over to the dive center taking me back to the cruise ship and then finally to Mambo Beach. The two dives were shore dives. Each one very different. The first dive a little shallow but the corals and sea life were fantastic. Saw several eels. And all of the tropical fish that you can imagine. The second dive was a wall dive. Everything was 100% visible. The water was clean and clear. The instructions were well done and I really had a great time. I highly recommend Scooby-Doo to anybody doing a cruise ship dive and also if you're staying in Curacao highly recommend multiple dives

Best Diving School On Curacao! - After obtaining my PADI Open Water & Advanced certificate, I continued to achieve the highest possible level as a recreational diver at Jan Thiel Diving: Scuba Master Diver. To achieve this I need at least 35 additional dives and 5 certificates. Jan Thiel Diving was the logical choice for me because they have the right diplomas and training from Padi because they are a 5 star PADI diving school on Curacao. Because I had to achieve this number of dives, I was active for several months and did a lot of diving with the Jan Thiel Diving crew. As a result, I got to know the crew well and can tell you that they always do everything they can to ensure that you have a fantastic diving experience on Curacao. Every dive, both with experienced divers and beginners (people who are introduced to diving) receives the full attention and enthusiasm of the entire team every day. My compliments on how they do this every day. Everyone on the crew is a fanatic diver and this passion is reflected in their way of teaching and as a diving guide. I have gotten to know several diving schools on Curacao, but I can only recommend 1 to you and that is Jan Thiel Diving. At this Curacao diving school they have the best diving instructors for diving lessons and diving guides. You can safely book there because they know the best diving spots and your dive is an adventure you will never forget. Have fun diving with the people of Jan Thiel Diving, for me this is the best diving school on Curacao and crew; thank you for your enthusiasm and motivation to achieve my desired level!

Fantastic And Trilling Scuba Dive Excursion! A+ - I had such an amazing time scuba diving with Jan Thiel Diving School. My Instructor Esmee was such a good instructor to me as I was a first-time diver. She was very patient and taught me the basics to understand scuba diving. As we entered the water she navigated with me underwater to see many things and was even so kind as to take pictures and videos of me. I would recommend her as an instructor to anyone!
