As far as dives go, this was a wonderful experience. Our guide picked us up on time, and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The reef was beautiful and teeming with life. I have been diving in other parts of the world, and this was definitely worth it!

      Outstanding experience from pick up to drop off. We enjoyed all aspects of this dive. I dove with two teenage boys who had only a little experience and I had complete faith in our dive master who was really great with them. Thank you !!

      Response from Host, Apr 2026

      Hi Wayne, thank you for your kind words. Great to hear you and the boys felt confident and well looked after throughout the experience. Really glad you all enjoyed the dive!

      Hi Shawn, thanks for sharing your experience. Great to hear you enjoyed the dive and felt well taken care of, hope to see you again for another one!

      Needed last minute Dr clearance. Cost me the trip.

      Carlos_G, Feb 2026
      It never happened. They requested a medical clearance from a Dr. because I checked that , yes I take sleep meds on the questionnaire. So I had to scramble to track down my Dr. from the US to sign the form. It was 2 hours too late. Their solution was to seek out a Dr near the airport. I had already planned out my trip so I couldn't cross the island and lose half the day. It might be my fault for not filling out the form earlier but they could have answered my call instead of relying on WhatsApp and slow email responses. It might have come together 2 hours ealier and I wouldn't have lost the trip and the money. If you take prescriptions for ANYTHING you'll need med clearance.

      Response from Host, Feb 2026

      Hi Carlos, thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry you couldn’t join the dive, we know how disappointing that must have been. At booking, we shared all necessary information, including the medical questionnaire outlining standard diving health requirements. Unfortunately we can’t take responsibility if the instructions were overlooked. Although a refund wasn’t possible under Viator’s terms, we tried to help you and be as flexible as possible. We hope you still enjoyed Curaçao and would love to welcome you for a dive with us another time.

      Great experience! They were very knowledgeable and helpful for our first dive. Would highly recommend them for future dives.

      Response from Host, Dec 2025

      Thanks for the review, Sam! We’re glad your first dive went smoothly and that you felt well supported. We’d love to welcome you back for more dives in the future!

      Great experience

      Ethan_A, Oct 2025
      Amazing experience, instructor was patient and friendly. A great introductory for anyone trying to scuba dive for the first time. You won’t regret it

      Response from Host, Dec 2025

      Thanks for the review, Ethan! We’re glad you felt comfortable and enjoyed your first dive. It’s awesome to hear you had a positive introduction to scuba, and we’d love to see you back in the water!

      Best dive ever!

      Michelle_C, Oct 2024
      This tour is amazing. We signed up to go another day while here. Sytse and Paul were amazing and so was Zoe, the photographer who took pictures while we underwater. They pick you up and drop you off so you don't have to find them...they love what they do and it's obvious. After a short training, they make sure you can do everything yourself in the water then they take you out to an amazing reef and we saw SO much marine life. My husband and I have done many scuba excursions in the carribean. Various islands. This was by far the best. Like I said we are going twice while here with them!! If you've new to scuba, go with them...it's a personal experience...no other tourists. They will make you feel comfortable and ensure you are safe.

      Response from Host, Dec 2024

      Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with us. It’s always our goal to ensure safety, fun, and memorable moments for our guests, and we're glad we could deliver that for you. We hope to dive with you again in the future!

      Best excursion in our two weeks on the island!

      Kirstie_B, Sep 2024
      Sytse and Peter put us at ease for our first diving experience. They met us at Marie Pampoen beach and trained us on the basics and gradually got us comfortable in the water. The reef was absolutely gorgeous- we saw a turtle, pufferfish, and a multitude of colorful thriving coral and schools of fish. This experience was our favorite thing in the two weeks we stayed on the island! We can’t wait to dive again. I highly recommend Soul Divers- thanks Sytse, Peter, and Ylva!

      Response from Host, Sep 2024

      Thank you for your kind review Kirsty! We're so happy your first dive was a great experience, and that you loved the reef and marine life. We can't wait to dive with you again! 🌊🐢

      Awesome! Highly recommended!!

      Raphael_G, Aug 2024
      Pick up was right on time. Our hosts and guides were so friendly and helpful. The instruction was very personal and attentive. I highly recommend Soul Divers for anyone interested in learning to dive and/or a beginner experience, and also for experienced divers too!! Beautiful sites with reef and lots of ocean life. Great day for our whole family!!

      Response from Host, Aug 2024

      Amazing first scuba!

      Ines_R, Jul 2024
      We loved our first scuba in Curacao! Our guide made it super easy to learn & took us to an amazing dive spot. The private tour felt like an experience curated to our comfort level. Would highly recommend!

      The dive experience was fantastic but the SOUL DIVERS team made it extraordinary!

      Carroll_W, Jun 2024
      Ylva and Sytse were so professional and personable. We had a great experience with our 1st time dive, all the gear, training and support were above & beyond! What a fantastic diving session and the SOUL DIVERS team made it so!! I’d give them 6 stars if I could! ******

      Shore dive

      Kamila_D, May 2024
      We had a great time shore diving! Our instructor was very patient as we needed to go over some basics again. He was on time for the pickup and very nice. Even gave us some great tips about the island.

      Response from Host, Jun 2024

      Hi Kamila, thank you for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed shore diving with us. We hope you found the island tips useful! Hope to see you again soon!

      Very professional and fun...

      The whole experience was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had! The whole family loved it! The instructors are friendly, thorough, knowledgeable and kind! Highly recommend! They even knew places on the island that were good for food and fun!

      A great experience

      Scott7621, Mar 2024
      Ylva and her partner were great. The introduction to scuba is professionally run. My wife was very apprehensive about diving. Ylva worked with her throughout the whole experience to make sure she was comfortable. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Soul Divers.

      Response from Host, Mar 2024

      Hi Scott, thank you for leaving a review behind. Happy to hear you both had a great experience with us! See you next time! Best regards, Sytse & Ylva

      Best company to book diving with for beginners!

      JeanPierre_G, Feb 2024
      Sytse is the man! Very patient and great teacher! Do yourself a favor if you have any interest in diving and book with this company. After a safety briefing and Q/A- we went to put on full scuba gear and into water for warm up exercises just to get use to new equipment. Sytse Is such an excellent teacher that I was able to understand the breathing techniques with the respirator more and more better. We finally descent and as I explained to him, the things I saw under water are indescribable. It’s a an absolutely different world down there and such a wonderful experience. I would 100% book with this company again and would recommend everyone to come here.

      Response from Host, Mar 2024

      Thank you for your review Jean-Pierre. Happy to hear you had a great morning diving with Sytse at Tugboat Beach. We can't wait for you next dive adventure!

      Great personalized experiences!

      Monica_I, Feb 2024
      Incredible dive experience, this is a personalized experience, Sytse is a great instructor and very patient, he gave us really good tips and you do not need to wait for all the group as it is private. The reef is close to the shore and not really depth so you can easily enjoy and play with these tips while Enjoying the beautiful colors and variety of fish. Totally recommend Ylva and Sitse who made it fun, relax and enjoyable for rookies like us!

      Awesome!

      Tom_B, Feb 2024
      This was a great first experience of diving for me, beautiful waters, such a warm welcome and in all a great service. Would highly recommend!

      Response from Host, Feb 2024

      Thank you for your review Tom. We are happy to hear you had a great experience with us. We loved showing you our office and hearing all your stories of your traveling! Who knows we will meet each other again some day!

      Great diving experience!

      Kristin_L, Feb 2024
      We had such a great time with Sytse & Ylva! We came on a cruise ship for the day. It was so convenient with them picking us up right from our port and dropping us back off! My husband and I are pretty new to diving and we felt so much better with the one on one diving buddy. This was a great location for diving. We didn’t even have to ride a boat to see some amazing coral and tons of fish not far from the shore! We can’t wait to come again and go on another dive!

      Response from Host, Feb 2024

      Hi Kristin, thank you for taking the time and sharing your experience with us. We much appreciate it! Happy to hear you had a great time, so did we! We hope to see you again soon!

      Wow! If you want experienced, personable, and caring people then Soul Divers is where to book. They truly care and love diving and are excited to teach it and be a part of YOUR experience. This was our first time and they were very patient teaching and practicing with us before the dive to make sure we are safe and confident. Their presence made us feel secure!

      First time diver

      Ilham_A, Sep 2023
      If you're looking to scuba dive in Curacao, just stop looking for anyone else. Private dives, doesn't get better than this. My brother and I had a great experience. They were very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. They made us feel very comfortable underwater, this being our first scuba diving experience. They also took pictures of us underwater and nice enough to give us a mini tour of Willemstad. 100% recommended.

      Response from Host, Sep 2023

      Hi Ilham, thank you so much for leaving a review behind. It was our pleasure guiding you and your brother. We hope you enjoyed your time on Curaçao and are looking back to many great memories.

      We had an amazing first dive experience with Soul Divers. They gave clear easy instructions. They made the experience natural and anxiety free. We highly recommend booking with Soul Divers.

      Response from Host, Aug 2023

      Thank you for your review Michaela. You both did great on your first dive. We hope to see you again and let's get you certified then!

      Very nice activity...

      vitor_m, Jan 2026
      Very nice activity for beginners who don't have the certificate. The guide taught everything, did a practice and then left for the diving. All very safe and beautiful.
