Good visibility and new friends. - Esmee went above and beyond to get us a new dive plan after our flights were canceled. We had a great time diving with Demi. We were able to identify quite a few fish, some turtles, and an elusive octopus.

Amazing dives!!!!!! - Had an amazing time diving with Jan Thiel Diving, the instructors that I dived with were all very professional and attentive. They were accommodating with my request and the specialty dive and night dive were my highlights during my stay on the island. Definitely recommend.

Excellent Small-Group Dive Experience with Jan Thiel - My wife and I did a 2 tank shore dive with another diver and our dive-master Esmee. Both dives were amazing and we were well-taken care of. When asked what we wanted to see for the 2nd dive we said "turtles" and she said that she has a place where she often sees turtles, but of course there was no guarantee. However we hit the jackpot by seeing 5 different ones during a 45 minute dive. We were quite happy. Also we were passengers on the Holland America cruise ship and Jan Thiel picked us up just outside the secured cruise area, took us to the shop, the dive sites, and back to the cruise dock. This was something we arranged on our own weeks before our cruise and the process of communicating and arranging the dives with Jan Thiel was easy using email and phone calls. We highly recommend Jan Thiel for Curacao diving guides.

Best Dive School on Curacao - Learn to dive on Curacao here! - Best diving school on Curacao!
I got to see up close how this team teaches people to dive and take my hat off: chapeau!
If you would like to learn to dive on Curacao, get your PADI certificate for Open Water, or Open Water Advanced (or more....) go to Jan Thiel Diving. These people have a heart for diving and are the best diving school on Curacao.
I myself have lived on Curacao for 6 years and have experienced several dive schools and nowhere is the customer more central than at this dive school.
If you want to learn to dive on Curacao: choose Jan Thiel Diving!
Thanks to their guidance, I have obtained various certificates which have made me a better diver. This team knows what they are talking about (and the owner himself is actually a fish .... just kidding). They do everything to give you a super fun diving experience.
So; do you want to learn to dive on Curacao? Choose Jan Thiel Diving - the best diving school on Curacao.

Amazing! - Having earned my open water certificate a while ago, I did a refresher dive with Esmee, followed by a guided tank dive with Cas. The views were amazing, and the instruction was very good. I will definitely do it again!

Really a great experience! - 2x 2 dives made with Jan Thiel Diving and both times a top experience! It took some getting used to for me because we walked into water and I had only done boat diving before, but attention was paid to that! The first 2 dives I was alone and we discussed what I wanted to see, to 2 different dive sites, seen so much beauty! Dolphins, turtles, octopuses, fish, a shipwreck etc. Also the 2nd time diving again beautiful animals seen, octopuses, a seahorse, crab and much more. Good guidance and nice people! Definitely recommended🥰

Great! - Not dived for over 8 years, but thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable staff I felt like a fish in water again in no time and made fun shore and boat dives. Should I be around again, Jan Thiel Diving is the place to return to.
