A Great Introduction to SCUBA - This was my first SCUBA dive after about 60 years of snorkeling experience - it was great. I was the only person on the excursion, had the full attention of the diving instructor for the entire time. I had brought my own mask, with diopter lenses so I could see to operate my underwater cameras during the dive. This introduction to SCUBA requires a PADI e-course (cost included in the fee paid), allow a couple of hours to complete if you know a bit about SCUBA already - a little more if you're completely new to SCUBA.
I was picked up near the cruise port and transportation to the equipment shop and then on to the dive site was included, had a minor issue with communications getting picked up but a phone call to the number on the confirmation cleared it up quickly.
Study and learn the hand signals in the PADI course! The instructor will give you additional signals to remember before the dive. My 66 year old mind kept confusing a couple of them. Learning them well will make your dive go smoother.
The dive required more physical exertion than I had anticipated, part of the learning experience. I learned that breathing control can play a BIG part of controlling your buoyancy during the dive.

Can't wait to return to curacao. - Absolutely fantastic, what a way to experience to joy of scuba diving. My instructor Jason was wonderful, very knowledgeable and patient with me in reviewing my test, explaining what I was getting into, safely procedures.
Then the dive was one hell of a thrill, the ocean was clear, the school of fish were beautiful and the coral was colorful, I can wait until I return to experience more of curacao.

First dive - 10/10! - We couldn’t have asked for a better diving experience!!! For context, we had 4 individuals who were new to diving and 1 individual PADI certified.
Quincy was our tour guide/ instructor for this excursion and he was AMAZING. Quincy was thorough with the training and made sure to take an individual approach to test preparedness.
During the dive, Quincy continuously checked on the members of our group and helped out wherever needed- he made us feel safe under the water. As an added bonus, he is a local tour guide and made sure to give us some history as we navigated to our destinations!
I would highly recommend this experience!

My first scuba experience at 70+ with an excellent instructor - Jason is an awesome dive instructor with over 4000 dives! I was the only customer and this was my very first scuba diving experience. The open water dive took us to a coral covered area with many fish and squid and to a depth of 4.4 meters. I snorkel but this is a great introduction to scuba diving. I enjoyed the experience so much that I booked a second dive with Jason upon my return to Curacao. Jason swam nearby and signaled by hand so we could communicate under water. He also adjusted my weights and buoyancy control devise (BCD) to make me neutrally buoyant for effortless swimming. A very knowledgeable instructor. I'm 73 and plan to continue to obtain my PADI card. Thanks Jason!

Completely fabulous. A must do! - I have already written one review but I'll write another My ship docked around noon and I didn't realize I was looking for a dive shop and that it would be in a fort, so I was late. Also, I am only certified to dive with a dive master. I was taken to the staging area, outfitted with great new gear and rented a camera case. We drove to the dive site--just me and the driver/dive instructor, Jason. We walked into the warm water and no one else was around. I was astounded at the variety of both fish and coral. We didn't have to go very deep. I was down almost an hour. I was given plenty of water, and snacks when I got back. It was fabulous. My dive buddy instructor gave me some great tips. Can't recommend enough.

Amazing day and dives in Curacao! - We are certified divers, but booked prior to the certification being received. When we contacted the dive shop they totally accommodated us, and set us up with two shore dives instead of the discover diving excursion we signed up for. Could not have asked for more.
We did two dives with Adrian. He is very knowledge and willing to share information. He had great dives planned for us with easy shore entry and exits. He provided full service. We were on a cruise with Curacao as a port of call. We were picked up at the port and taken care of the entire day. Beautiful, clear water. We saw so many amazing things on our dives.

First time scuba - Despite discovering I don’t like scuba diving, the experience and friendliness of the tour company was outstanding. They were very kind and encouraging. If you’ve never gone scuba diving before and want to experience it and see if it’s for you, this is a very gentle and affordable option

Great 1st time experience! - I highly recommend this dive experience. We were 3 1st time divers and 1 certified diver and Epsilon made the whole day seamless. Adrian picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the pool where we did our training, he was very thorough and made sure we were all confident in our skills in the pool. Then we went to the beach where we suited up and all went in as a group. My husband had a great time, said they saw a sea turtle and lots of colorful fish while at the reef. Adrian was a wonderful instructor and made everyone feel very comfortable.
