Highlights
  • The Dive Bus, Curacao - If you’ve been diving in the last 18 months, then join our small guided dive group and we’ll take you diving on two of Curacao’s best shore dive sites – Pierbaai Reef and Car Pile.

If it’s been longer than 18 months, check out our Refresher dive instead :)

These beautiful dive (and snorkel!) sites are right across the road from The Dive Bus dive center. The shallow, protected sandy bay and gently sloping reef are perfect for diving and snorkeling at all levels of experience (including none at all).

When you love this you can always book more dives to other locations around the island :)

Dive with the best in Curaçao! - Thankful for James and The Dive Bus team for making our guided 2 tank shore diving in Cas Abao wonderful! This was our first time visiting Curaçao and we were impressed by the vibrant sea life. So grateful we used The Dive Bus after researching for the best and will use them again when we come back. Highly recommend bc they keep it small, relaxed, easy and educational with their dives. Plus their equipment is superior to other dive shops (we dive all over the Caribbean) and they actually take awesome pictures of the group, which makes them extra special!

The Dive Bus ROCKS!!!! - Just got back from a cruise. We set up our own dive through the dive bus. Excellent experience. The shop was clean and well stocked. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We usually travel with our own equipment, but we decided to rent this time and their rental equipment was excellent and well cared for. We did the two shore dives right across the street from the Dive Shop - beautiful dives, great visibility. We cannot wait to dive with them again!!

Best way to dive and experience the island. - We used Dive Bus 2 years ago and returned because they are fantastic. Small groups hour long dives and they’re still passionate about diving. As they drive you to the dive sites you get to experience the island and they give you the history. We did 10 dives with them this week and I can honestly say all 10 were amazing in their own way. I am already planning my next trip to the island and I will definitely use them again.

Great Dive Shop - Fully Stocked with Scuba Pro Gear and Great Team! Perfect Shop for Certifications. - My son and I got our advanced and my daughter did a intro to scuba. Team was great and dive shop was fully stocked with amazing Scuba Pro Gear and accessories. Their dive sites across the street are perfectly set up and beginner friendly for getting any certification. Also I loved the fact that they did small groups. They are a small operation and days and times fill up. This is a blessing and a curse. Amazing for divers who like smaller groups but make sure you book with plenty of time. Great team and we had a great experience. 6 dives with the dive bus and did another 6 boat dives with another Dive Shop. Which ended up be a really great way to dive the island. Happy diving!

Get Under (With) This Bus - I traveled to Curacao with my son, sister in law and nephew, and went diving while they completed their two day PADI Open Water certification course. The class was excellent, and the staff were all friendly and knowledgable. James did a great job with the certification course, and I enjoyed diving at the Car Pile and Porto Mari while my family were all in training. Once everyone got their Open Water cert, we dove Director's Bay (2 tanks) and Tugboat Beach (2 tanks) on consecutive days. The walls are fun, and we saw something new on every dive. Diving under the pier at Tugboat Beach was "sick" in the words of my 24 year old son. Since I've done most of my diving off boats, I liked the shore dive profiles that finish with "swimming safety stops" instead of hanging at 15' and watching my computer for three minutes at the end of every dive. We finished up our week with a night dive on the house reef that started slow, but we ended up finding four octopi (two hunting in the open), moray eels, three different types of crabs, sea urchins (deep in their hidey holes, so no danger to divers!) , spiny lobster, and hundreds of shrimp. My son told me after each dive "That was the best so far," ending with the night dive, which was "Definitely the best of the week." After each dive we got a rundown of all the critters we saw from our dive leaders, along with dive stories from Whitney, Zoe, Collin, Suzy and Mark at the end of day "beer o'clock" get together. The Dive Bus staff are all knowledgable and well trained, and they inspired my confidence as I saw how they worked with rookie and experienced divers in different groups. All of them are PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainers with multiple specialties, along with being a friendly and fun group to hang out and get wet with.

Would definitely recommend diving with these guys - Great diveshop. Came back to TDB in may 2024, stayed in an airbnb close by. Still a great dive shop. Nice and knowledgeable staff, good atmosphere. In the morning the staff collected our gear together and after a check would load them up in the bus. With a small group we drove to several great dive sites. Snacks were also provided during the surface interval. Very relaxed dives no rushing. Great dives and were lucky to see some great stuff underwater. After returning tot the diveshop we could rinse our gear while enjoying a nice cold local beer. The house reef is also great we were lucky to see a bait ball, turtle and seahorse.

Great first dive in Curaçao! - We greatly enjoyed Director’s Bay and our DM, James! Very friendly and full of knowledge. This shop really relies on the diver to get equipment ready and suited up. It wasn’t a problem, James walked me through it, but if you’re used to having that done for you on dives you’ll get some practice. Snacks and drinks were provided between dives and the lockers at the shop were a help! This was our first experience shore diving and it took a little getting used to, but I did it! Great shop, dive, and people!

Great Dive Shop - Once again, another great dive vacation! Great shore diving (incl Pierbaai, Porto Mari, Cas Aboe, Kokomo and Director's Bay Reefs). As always, very relaxing and great fun. Thanks again to the incredible team of Zoe, Whitney, Colin, James, and Sophie for taking care of us! We highly recommend The Dive Bus for all your diving and snorkelling needs when visiting Curacao.
