Perfect experience for the vacation divers - Maurice is a very personable and super patient dive master. I explained in my email to the Jan Thiel Diving Center that my family of 3 are vacation divers only, although all PADI certified. In so writing, I was hoping for but not really expecting some handholding in the beginning, to ease us into the fun. Maurice turned out to be exactly who we needed. He took his time with us through the BWRAF process, personally checked all of our equipment, and made sure none of us were left behind during the dives. He was super capable yet very chill.

Anne even spots hiding turtle! - First dive at directorsbeach relaxed with lots of small fish, large group of squid, hermit crabs, suitcase fish, lobster, moray eel, suitcase fish, moonfish, spotted drumfish and much more...
Second dive at Lapalapa beach, visibility was very moderate, but despite this 5 large turtles seen, the first was "glued" against the coral to hide.
Returning crossing a stretch of sea without reference points was exciting, surfaced because of getting lost, safety for everything. Eventually longest dive ever of mine with 80 minutes with plenty of air left.
Anna, thank you for the beautiful and safe dives!!

Great Dive Shop! - Husband and I did two days of diving with Jan Thiel and could not have been happier with the experience. We tend to plan everything last minute and they were extremely responsive and helpful in finding us availability and making sure we got to visit different sites each day within our open water limits. The gear was in great shape and dives were fantastic! We’re relatively new divers and it was our first shore diving experience. We really appreciated the personal attention we received (just the two of us with the DM one of our days and one other diver with us on the second day) and the extra safety checks of all the gear we set up. Afterward, we really felt like we had improved our diving skills. DM did a great job of picking sites that weren’t crowded, often we were the only group. We saw a lot including seahorses and so many turtles!! Will 100% be back soon!

Phenomenal experience with a highly skilled and professional dive shop!! - The care and attention given to our group was phenomenal. We are recreational divers, once a year while on vacation and they catered to our needs like we were royalty. I can't say enough nice things about them. The owners are incredibly nice and knowledgeable.
Last year I went with a different dive shop every dive. I used the dive shops at the beaches we visited. That was the overwhelming advice I was given.
None of the dive shops we used last year could even compare to jan theil. This year we dove exclusively with jan theil and it was a great decision.
They even had a professional photographer take pics and video of my son throughout an entire dive.
We stayed in coral estates, 45 minutes away. Well worth the extra driving for us.

#1 dive shop for a reason - They go above and beyond to make your 2 tank dive relaxing. Cas and Dennis are such fun dive masters to have around. I will be back anytime I’m on the island.

Amazing dive experience - It was my first trip to Curaçao, and I wasn't sure what to expect. My main goal was to take two dives: one wreck dive, leaving the other open for suggestions. I was recommended to join Jan Thiel Diving for this special experience.
We explored the Superior Producer and Marie Pampoen, both shore dives. I have to say, I enjoyed the dives to the fullest—it was amazing!
For the dive, I didn't bring any camera gear, so I arranged for their professional photographer to join me underwater. When I say professional, I mean the real deal with top-notch equipment!
They offered great support and were highly professional, creating a relaxed atmosphere that made the experience even better and great fun to spend a day with.
In short, they have a great team, a great vibe, and offer stunning dives. It was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend them!
