I gifted my boyfriend 2 intro dives and he had an incredible time with Juan. They went on two separate dives and saw sea turtles, sea horses and other sea life. The instructional aspect was clear and in-depth. My boyfriend is excited to eventually get certified and will definitely be coming back to scubacao

Awesome dives!!! Highly recommend

banas1991, Jan 2024

Was a little super to book since there were only 17 reviews on the website at the time, however all 5 stars. Met at the dive shop at 830am, an unassuming place that you might otherwise drive right by! The crew came out to greet us, everybody was so nice. We booked 2 dives and an reintroduction lesson. My dad and I have scuba'd a handful of times but wanted a refresher. Intro class and paperwork took maybe an hour. The viator link on the email confirm didn't work to complete paperwork prior but don't worry they have all the paperwork there anyway. We got fitted for our gear and departed to a small beach nearby and were in the water pretty quick. We were with a small group which is nice because you have full attention from the instructors. The waves were unusually huge this day, visibility was very low and the master divers make the (correct) call to move to a different location as there were a few brand new divers with us. So we had to remove all the gear, drive down the road and they brought us to Tugboat beach under a huge oil rig, which was SO cool! We were in the water in no time and the dive was great. We swam past a shipwreck, under/around the rig and back. One of my favorite dives ever. There was even an underwater photographer who came along which was a great surprise and she took some awesome shots which we purchased for an extra fee after dive #1. We got out of the water, suited down, ate some cookies, changed tanks and were onto dive #2. A short drive to another beach and were underwater again really quickly, which is a good thing because of the early delay. This dive was along some reefs and we followed a baby sea turtle for maybe 15 minutes. It was for sure the best dive(s) I've ever been on. The locations were really really cool however I have seen better sea life elsewhere (Tulum), but took nothing away from this awesome experience. We dove with JP and Quincy who were both great. Would HIGHLY recommend and we will book them again if ever in Curacao for a stay or in port for a cruise. You can tell these guys really love it and are a pleasure to work and dive with.

Outstanding Dive-shop and Team at Scubacao!!

Great experience! They picked me up from the cruise port promptly. The pre-dive learning was clear and easy to understand and off we went on our first dive. Both dives were shore dives with easy entrances into the water at both locations. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get their feet wet!

A great experience

Alex_J, Feb 2023

A wonderful time with Chris! Very patient and eager to teach. So glad I did this, made me much more interested in actually getting certified. Everyone at Scubacao was also so nice and helpful. I will use them again next time I am back.

A great experience

T_S, Nov 2022

This was a really great tour for novice divers. Chris, our guide, was knowledgable and really worked hard to make this a good experience. The entire staff was friendly, helpful and made the experience seamless and easy. They have a great location for orientation and introductory dives and the underwater scenery was beautiful. The place is small, and isn't a luxury experience from an amenities standpoint, but the people and experience are first class.

AMAZING TIME :)

Hershel_D, Sep 2022

Our first time scuba diving and we had an amazing experience with Scubacao. Chris and Rob were our guides and they were very attentive to everyone's needs. They made us feel really comfortable and safe. We were really happy with the pickup in the morning. We dove twice and the second time was incredible. We were able to see amazing sealife and coral reef.

Incredible diving experience. JP is a world class individual and amazing guide. Did two beautiful dives, saw tons of marine life, and loved every minute. Will absolutely use them again for my dives on future trips. HIGHLY recommend JP and Scubacao.
