Emma diving with dad

Nothing is more fun then diving with children. This girls father had been diving with us before last year and now returned for some more. When he learned his daughter was old enough to try diving as well he asked her if she wanted to try. And she did!! As a matter of fact, even […]

Leroy’s guided dives

Recently we had a family of 3, mom, Dad and 4 year old daughter. Mom and Dad wanted to do guided dives, but also wanted it to be a family vacation. We solved the problem easily, first Mom did a dive with us whilst Dad played at the beach with the girl. Afterwards we had […]

Willem diving

It’s not just exercises during the Open Water Diver course. Of course they are a very important part of each course dive, but when all requirements have been reached we also do a fun tour on the reef. Diving is fun and we want to show you why! So after the stress of having your […]

Spotted eagle ray during a dive

Though we always enjoy every fish we see underwater and love to look at the corals and sponges and all their different colors, sometimes you see something that really makes your dive. During this dive it was a spotted eagle ray who allowed us to get a glimpse of him. It’s just majestic, how they […]

Brett and Catherine diving together

Again we had a couple doing their first dive with us. Leroy did a Discover Scuba Dive with them and they had a great time! During Discover Scuba we start in our classroom with a little bit of theory. A lot of this you can forget again, but it is for example very important to […]

small dive impression

After doing a first Discover Scuba Dive with us at Playa Lagun this diver decided to do another one on a different location. Still a bit nervous, still breathing heavily in the beginning of the dive, but little by little she relaxed again and started to enjoy herself again. We greeted Neptune and enjoyed seeing […]

New dive experience

Diving at Curaçao can be a complete new experience for new divers doing a discover scuba dive or for more experience divers trying shore diving instead of boat diving. We start building together our dive gear at the parking lot and then simply walk into the water from the beach. Since we can descend very […]

Beautiful dive sites

During multiple days of two-tank guided dives you can encounter a lot of sealife at our reef. Every dive is done at a different dive site . In between the dives there is time for a lunch consisting of a sandwich, fruit, a glass of juice and water. It’s relaxing on the beach in-between the dives. You […]

Orange seahorse during a dive

Finding a seahorse during our Discover Scuba Dives or our guided dives is always something that makes us and our divers very happy. Finding an orange seahorse is extra special, usually we find the more brown/black varieties. We have seen this specific seahorse on several dives already. Sometimes we don’t see it for a couple […]

Diving together

About a week ago Leroy did a guided dive with 2 persons. In this movie you get an impression of what they encountered during this guided dive. The divers greeted Neptune on their way to the reef and saw turtles, a lobster, a sharptail eel and 2 honeycomb cowfishes engaged in either a mating ritual […]

Yanshu Liu diving at Curaçao

Yesterday we had the honor to do 2 guided dives with a very spontaneous female diver. We had lots of fun on the surface as well as underwater. Leroy took Yanshu to Playa Lagun and Playa Piskado for 2 beautiful dives. When looking at a sharptail eel something yellow caught his eye… a yellow frogfish! […]

Diving to the superior

Known as one of the best wreck dives in the Caribbean is the wreck called Superior Producer. This former cargo ship is now covered with corals and a home to lots of sea life. Big green moray eels are seen in the cargo hull and often tarpons stand guard around the wreck. But also look […]
