After you’ve regained your underwater comfort, a short swim with your fins will bring you to the stunning Dive Bus house reef for an exquisite open water dive, with a maximum depth of 40ft / 12m.

Great Refresher dive - I needed to take a refresher dive and my wife (who is not certified) wanted to take a discovery dive.. we found the PADI refresher course offered by Dive bus and were glad we did! This allowed us to dive together. We started on the beach right near their office and were able to get comfortable in a shallow lagoon (this made acclimating very easy if you have not been on a dive in years). My wife was very nervous but our group instructor (I think her name is Sonya) was very patient and understanding. Once we went through some basic steps in 3-5 feet of water, we then just descended to about 20-30 feet in a beautiful area right off the shore. The short dive was great and just what we needed :) Would definitely recommend Dive bus!

Great Dive with the Dive Bus and Dive Master Whitney. - I went on a Refresher Dive with Whitney and had a great time. It had been a few years since my last dive and Whitney was patient, helpful and an overall true professional. If you are looking to dive in Curacao book with the Dive Bus and ask for Whitney.

Amazing dive shop and team!! - We had not scuba in over 10 years. Colin and Robert walked us back over the basics and then we had a great dive!! Probably the best dive we ever had and we have dove all over the Caribbean. We then signed up for our first night dive with Whitney and that surpassed the day dive. Active octopus and interactive squid made our dive even more amazing, Thank you, Dive Bus Team!! We will be back!!

Laid back and super professional packed in one Bus! - I super enjoyed The Dive Bus. What a great fun and professional team. I did a refresher course and two fun dives spread over the week, one of which was a wreck dive. I was impressed with the quality of the gear and the preparation of it by the dive masters. It made the whole thing super easy and efficient for us. - I remembered dive prepping and cleaning up as being a much bigger hassle - ut not so at the dive bus! :-) Our teens did the open water diver course. I was happy to hear that they also really enjoyed the approach and the teaching skills of the team. I would definitely recommend the dive bus to anyone!

Relaxed and friendly set-up - Friendly and flexible dive company. Booking was easy and emails quickly sorted as our flights changed. Did a refresher dive in a small group of 4. All very professional and local dive site great. We then hired tanks and gear and did our own shore diving. Diving was some of the best I’ve done in the Caribbean. Couldn’t rate the team highly enough.

A rad experience - The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. I had dived before but am not certified and Mark was brilliant at accommodating my skill set. There are not enough words to say how great this afternoon was! I cannot recommend the team, experience and location highly enough and my only regret it that I wasn’t in curaçao long enough to go back and become certified with them.

Dave’s Cruise ship stop - I arrived by cruise ship and jumped into a $30 taxi (less costly if shared) for my short ride to The Dive Bus. They are located near Mambo Beach area. The friendly staff was awaiting my arrival. The dive shop and grounds were very nice. Water, refreshments, lockers, WiFi and almost brand new equipment was ready to go. My PADI refresher instructions was very helpful and most everything I learned 2 years ago came back to me. Since I was the only person that needed a refresher, I had a private drive. This was very much appreciated! We walked across the street and within seconds we were in the water. After a couple quick skills to review in the water we were off! Huge puffers, a seahorse, lots of various fish large and small were visible during our one hour dive. Visibility was good and the reef is alive and beautiful! I highly recommend The Dive Bus!
