- Piet’s Pier Bar - Why not take the opportunity to go scuba diving during your stay in Aruba? This specific scuba diving course is a great introduction to this popular water sport. Nothing compares to the weightless freedom of diving and with expert instructors on hand. No previous experience is necessary! The boat is built with easy access to the dive platform featuring twin drop down ladders, a two tiered photo table for camera and video equipment, a restroom and fresh water showers for rinsing off. The tour will include two hours of instruction in the pool.

Then you will take a 1.5 hour boat trip where you will do a 1-tank open water dive of approximately 30-40 minutes. The dive boat goes to a shallow reef or wreck and an instructor will accompany you at all times underwater. Dives are in the 20-30’ range. All instruction and necessary equipment is included.

Excellent. Highly recommended. - Excellent. Awesome.
The instructor who taught us and accompanied us at all times, Lisa, is excellent, 10 points. I went with my 16 year old daughter.
First we practiced in the pool and then went to the ocean. Our first scuba diving experience, and it was a great one; we enjoyed it. It is highly recommended.

Great way to spend a few hours... - Great opportunity to give scuba diving a try. I did this 4 years ago and never got certified, but doing it again was just as fun and educational as the first. Lisa was a great instructor and underwater guide to the shipwreck that we explored. a great half day adventure!

Great experience on this tour! - The Dutch guide was super great & knowledgeable. We had a small group on the tour which was nice. They allowed a non-diving companion to come with me for a minimal cost & I really appreciated that.

Dwayne and Mel's Great Adventure. - Absolutely fantastic experience. Lennart (Leonard) was wonderful, professional, calm, patient. He emphasized calmness from the moment we met. We had plenty of practice in the pool and tons of reinforcement of information prior to diving in. All safety measures in place. Our dive was beautiful, and we didn't have complications, but I would have felt safe with Lennart as a guide, if something did go wrong. Lennart took beautiful photos and videos that he shared with us. We saw 3 sea turtles, tons of beautiful marine life, puffers, Sgt Majors, Blue Tang, many. many schools of fish all around us. We ended our journey safely with a cameo appearance of a Spotted Eagle Ray. Tons of value for want they charge for this trip. Remarkable. Say 'yes' to this experience if you've always wanted to try Scuba! Maybe you will get Lennart...but all the other Dive Masters were very kind, thorough and capable all around us!

Must do - First time diving experience. We are not certified (yet) but wanted to see how we would enjoy it. My husband and I absolutely loved it. We went to the pool first to get comfortable with the equipment and skills. Once we were ready we went to the boat. We got to dive around and old ship wreck site. The instructor was great at making sure I felt comfortable. He stayed within arms reach during the whole dive. We got to see a turtle, eel, and multiple beautiful fish. We can’t wait to dive again.

Lots of fish - The snorkeling tour was very interesting, but need more safety instruction for those who did it the first time, in case of drowning. Also, in order to attract more fish to see, fish food may be provided by the crew to certain area. Just like what I saw in Hawaii.

Horrible and Clowned of All - It is absurd to sell a package where the instructor does not quiz to do because he does not speak Spanish and I paid for the tour in Spanish in addition to losing my whole day during my vacation I did not do the tour, I would like to know if you will return my money because the operator did not want to return and said that vcs you have to return because I paid for you.

Cheated - The diving course for beginners in which we would participate was cancelled fifteen minutes before the start. We were waiting neatly at the indicated spot at 12.30pm. The stated reason was that two instructors were sick. We ourselves think that the organization had too few participants for the course and therefore cancelled the course. Very disappointing.
