Seahorse again spotted

Last year we spotted a lot of seahorses at one of the dive sites of Curacao. Sadly they dissapeared after a storm in November. Of course we always keep an eye out for them. These last couple of weeks we are very happy to say we are seeing them again. Some are still very small […]

Diving with Khaled

During an open water course it’s not only exercises. Of course these are the most important parts of the open water course, but there’s always time for a fun tour as well. This diver was very lucky during his open water course. Almost every dive we saw something special. First dive we saw a seahorse, […]

Meeting a lot of turtles

Some times we hit the jackpot during a guided shore dive. This dive was one like that again.  The moment we went under we were surrounded by a lot of green turtles. They were relaxing, eating left overs from fish. It was a beautiful sight to see them in different sizes. Some were curious what […]

Diving together

Diving together at Curaçao is so much fun. It doesn’t matter if you do a discover scuba dive or a guided dive, you always have something to share together. It’s the experience you share about what you encountered underwater. So you can tell other divers about different shore dive spots at Curaçao or around the world. There are […]

Diving Mika

Diving With Mika at a dive spot at Curaçao. Together discovering the beauty of a shallow under water world. After going under we encountered a lot of animals.

Diving with…

Diving with new and returning customers is always fun. During the fun tour part of this Scuba Review dive we encountered a seahorse and a one armed box crab. Missing his other arm it was making it difficult for him to hide under the sand, but making it easier for us to look at him. After […]

Turtle overdose

At some shore dive spots you can encounter a lot of turtles at once. There are two kinds of turtles you can spot at curaçao, the green turtle and the hawksbill turtle. In this movie of our dive you see them both. The green turtle is more rounded from his shield and head. The hawksbill […]

It doesn’t matter if you encounter a parrotfish or a turtle, it’s always fun. You enhance your skills with other experienced divers and after the dive, at […]

Double frogfish

Two weeks ago Rob spotted this yellow frogfish during one of his dives. Today Petricia was doing a dive on the same dive location with her open water student. Since Rob described the spot where the frogfish was so clearly she could easily find the spot and… the frogfish was still there! Better even, when […]

These are children who are certified junior open water divers or Seal Team members.  Every time we dive  at another  shore dive spot at Curaçao. This dive was very special, we went underwater to paint. We got our instruction from Tanya […]
