Ronald is the best! - This was our first time scuba diving, and we can't recommend it enough. Ronald was an excellent instructor: friendly, fun, easy going while still very safe and rigorous. It was the perfect introduction to scuba skills with the opportunity to see so much sea life and interesting things on the sea floor. Thank you, Ronald, for giving us such a memorable experience!

Amazing first dive for my daughter and wife! - Ronald and Lieke were amazing! We saw so many coral and fish and even a school of squid! I would absolutely suggest booking the photographer, because this allowed us to really focus on the dive and she captured the photos. Great job to both Ronald and Lieke. My wife and daughter are both going to get their certification so we can dive more!

Fantastic first experience for my wife and daughter! - Ronald was amazing with instructions and got us safely into the water and through our skills checks. My wife and daughter loved their first scuba experience and are now planning to become open water certified. I went along with them and had an amazing time as well. We saw tons of fish, corals, and even some squid. We booked the photographer, which I highly recommend because we could focus only on enjoying the experience and she captured fantastic images of us and the environment. Great job Lieke!! Thank you both for such a great time!!

First experience with diving - Together with my girlfriend I had a Discover Scuba Dive with Lieke. She explained everything in a fun way. When the diving got tricky, she took the time to let me get used to breathing underwater in a very relaxed way. After this had a fantastic experience. Lieke knew how to show a lot of nice fish and spots. We would recommend Jan Thiel Diving to anyone!

Highly Recommend their Discover Scuba Dive course!! - My husband and I had such a wonderful experience with Jan Thiel Diving's Discover Scuba Dive course and Lieke as our instructor! She reviewed the equipment, hand signals, and all of the other necessary requirements before we drove to the beach. There, we enjoyed a beautiful 48 minutes underwater! Words cannot describe all of the colors that we saw :-) We saw so many fish and coral as well as the sunken tugboat at Tugboat Beach. I had a few issues with my ears not wanting to equalize, and Lieke was always within sight to help me. There were even times she stayed beside me when I was having trouble finding the balance of going too low or too high. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Jan Thiel Diving's Discover Scuba Dive course for anyone who is not certified but is curious about the world of scuba diving! We always felt safe and comfortable. It was a phenomenal experience and worth every penny!

Introduction Dive Jan Thiel Diving - What a super cool experience! I can recommend everyone to do the introductory dive, especially if you are curious about the underwater life of Curaçao. Cas and Lieke have guided us very well and fine and even pointed out beautiful things underwater, such as a sea turtle and n octopus!
